“Reading is a staple of life, like bread or water. Or chocolate.”
“And read… read all the time… read as a matter of principle, as a matter of self-respect. Read as a nourishing staple of life.”
“Life is like a box of chocolates, I'm a nerd and I read books”
“Read. Read all the time. Read as a matter of principle, as a matter of self-respect. Read as a nourishing staple of life.” (Wellesly High School commencement speech, “You Are Not Special”, 6-12)”
“Reading a good book in silence is like eating chocolate for the rest of your life and never getting fat.”
