“Not matter what your sacred or religious book is, it's not how well you know the book, it's how well you're in alignment with the author.”

“Lord! haven't I seen you with the greatest authors in your hands, and don't I know how ready your attention is to wander when it's a book that asks for it, instead of a person?”

“Perhaps this is how you know you're doing the thing you're intended to: No matter how slow or how slight your progress, you never feel that it's a waste of time.”

“No one knows as well as I how much nonsense is printed in books.”

“And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.”

“Life is like a book son. And every book has an end. No matter how much you like that book you will get to the last page and it will end. No book is complete without its end. And once you get there, only when you read the last words, will you see how good the book is.”
