“Only in today's sick society can a man be persecuted for reading too many books.”
“The danger today is in believing there are no sick people, there is only a sick society.”
“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.”
“To read too many books is harmful.”
“A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition”
