“Man is what he reads.”

“The object we call a book is not the real book, but its potential, like a musical score or seed.”

“I think we’d all be better readers if we realized that it isn’t the writer who’s the time traveler. It’s the reader…”

“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books… letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.”

“I should infinitely prefer a book.”

“Knowing you have something good to read before bed is among the most pleasurable of sensations.”

“Time is never wasted if you remember to bring along something to read.”
