“Reading a book is something you do to yourself.”
“Never force yourself to read a book that you do not enjoy. There are so many good books in the world that it is foolish to waste time on one that does not give you pleasure.”
“Don't tell me you're reading it,' she said, as if I were doing something to the book, whereas in fact the book was doing something to me.”
“I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”
“If you want to improve the world, first improve yourself. If you want to improve yourself, read a book.”
“Keep reading books, but remember that a book’s only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.”
