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

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

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

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