“My books are likely to contain food stains and rings from my tea cups. A book is to be lived with and used.”
“No tea cup is big enough nor book long enough for me to be satisfied.”
“I pledge to set out to live a thousand lives between printed pages.I pledge to use books as doors to other minds, old and young, girl and boy, man and animal.I pledge to use books to open windows to a thousand different worlds and to the thousand different faces of my own world.I pledge to use books to make my universe spread much wider than the world I live in every day.I pledge to treat my books like friends, visiting them all from time to time and keeping them close.”
“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
“Oh my dear fellow...should you not be askind, 'Would the tea like the cup?”
“Coffee isn't my cup of tea.”
