Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.

I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived.

---

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

---

Maps can’t show the real destination—it’s always somewhere inside you.

---

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.

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

---

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

---

Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination. — Fitzhugh Dodson
