A book is a gift you can open again and again.

---

I can survive well enough on my own – if given the proper reading material.

---

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

---

If a book is well written, I always find it too short.

---

To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.

---

I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.

---

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.

---

Nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book.
