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

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

"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."
