"Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it."

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

"A book should serve as the axe for the frozen sea within us."

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