"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. "

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

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

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