“Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.”

“I vow I shall give all my very best books to the underprivileged, once I have read them”

“In quoting of books, quote such authors as are usually read; others you may read for your own satisfaction, but not name them.”

“First, you don't have to be smart to read books. Lots of idiots read books. Trust me, the ability to read does not necessarily mean the ability to think.”

“I am no fan of books. And chances are, if you're reading this, you and I share a healthy skepticism about the printed word. Well, I want you to know that this is the first book I've ever written, and I hope it's the first book you've ever read. Don't make a habit of it.”

“And tell them all about the books you've read. Better still, buy some more books and read them. That's an order. You can never read too many books.”
