“You'll get younger not from what you read but from what you apply in your life. (192)”

“Read absolutely everything you get your hands on because you'll never know where you'll get an idea from...”

“Education is what you get from reading the small print; experience iswhat you get from not reading it.”

“Reading is human contact, and the range of our human contacts is what makes us what we are. Just imagine you live the life of a long-distance truck driver. The books that you read are like the travelers you take into your cab. If you give lifts to people who are cultured and profound, you'll learn a lot from them. If you pick up fools, you'll turn into a fool yourself.”

“The best advice is not to write what you know, it’s to write what you like. Write the kind of story you like best—write the story you want to read. The same principle applies to your life and your career:”

“Be careful what you get good at doin', cuz you'll be doin' it for the rest of your life.”
