"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."

" It is a man's duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. "

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