"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. "

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

"Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all."

"Hungry man, reach for the book: it is a weapon. "
