"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me."

" It is a man's duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. "

"There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favourite book."

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
