..a good book can teach you about the world and about yourself. You learn more than how to read better; you also learn more about life. You become wiser. Not just more knowledgeable - books that provide nothing but information can produce that result. But wiser, in the sense that you are more deeply aware of the great and enduring truths of human life.
Mortimer J. Adler
It's more fun writing bad books than reading good ones
Werner Lansburgh
In a town like London there are always plenty of not quite certifiable lunatics walking the streets, and they tend to gravitate towards bookshops, because a bookshop is one of the few places where you can hang about for a long time without spending any money.
George Orwell
The only important thing in a book is the meaning that it has for you.
W. Somerset Maugham
Never put off till tomorrow the book you can read today.
Holbrook Jackson
The public library is where place and possibility meet.
Stuart Dybek
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
Robertson Davies
