“Like most bookworms I read so as not to be alone, which often annoys those who are trying to make conversation with me.”

“People often ask me why my style is so simple. It is, in fact, deceptively simple, for no two sentences are alike. It is clarity that I am striving to attain, not simplicity.Of course, some people want literature to be difficult and there are writers who like to make their readers toil and sweat. They hope to be taken more seriously that way. I have always tried to achieve a prose that is easy and conversational. And those who think this is simple should try it for themselves.”

“I won't be sad too often,If they bury me in the libraryWith bookworms in my coffin.”

“If a person who constantly reads is labeled a bookworm, then I was quickly becoming what might be called a tapeworm.”

“The most important thing about reading is not the level of sophistication of the books on your shelf. There is no prerequisite reading regimen for being a bookworm.”

“Bookworms aren't people who love to read. They are people who treat books as treasures. Anonymous”
