The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as
the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
You’ve really got to start hitting the books, because it’s no joke out here.
Spike Lee
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.
Chinese proverb
Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
James Russell Lowell
To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all of the miseries of life.
W. Somerset Maugham
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing
needs, is good for him.
Richard McKenna
Books, to the reading child, are so much more than books – they are dreams and knowledge, they
are a future, and a past.
Esther Meynell
It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading.
Something that will stretch their imaginations – something that will help them make sense of their own
lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.
Katherine Paterson
Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be
a ball of light in one’s hand.
Ezra Pound
We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.
B.F. Skinner
The more things you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places
you’ll go.
Dr. Seuss
Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in
which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting.
Aldous Huxley
We read to know we are not alone.
C.S. Lewis
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a f avorite book.
Marcel Proust
To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as
many kinds of lives as we wish.
S.I. Hayakawa
