“Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.”

“Some books should be tasted,some devoured but only few should be chewed and digested thouroughly”

“Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”

“Remember some books are meant to be tasted, some books are meant to be chewed and, finally, some books are meant to be swallowed whole.”

“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”

“You know how dey say some people “devour” books? Not in da way ME do! Me REALLY devour books!”
