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

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

"Outside of a dog, man's best friend is a book. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

"Books are a hardbound drug with no danger of overdose. I am the happy victim of books."
