Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.

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

---

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.

---

Have books ‘happened’ to you? Unless your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ I’m unsure how to talk to you.

---

Some books leave us free and some books make us free.

---

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

---

Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you.

---

Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.

---

Whatever you may say, the body depends on the soul.
