"Before this generation lose the wisdom, one advice - read books."

"If I could convert books to wine, I’d start with The Grapes of Wrath. I’ve never read it, but maybe tonight I’ll be thirsty enough."

"Digestion of words as well; I often read aloud to myself in my writing corner in the library, where no one can hear me, for the sake of better savouring the text, so as to make it all the more mine."

"What refuge is there for the victim who is oppressed with the feeling that there are a thousand new books he ought to read, while life is only long enough for him to attempt to read a hundred?"

"Begin to read, write and think."

"Reading makes you ready for the world. A man who doesn’t read is a man who is easily deceived. You must find that man and make him sign a contract, and you must do it before Satan does. Trust me, the profits are HUGE!"

"Because you don't learn anything unless you can find the patience to read. TV takes that away from you. It robs you from your mind."

"I’ll bet opening a store called Boobs and Books would increase literacy. I prefer a hands-on approach to learning."

"I want to write a book so long that it will take the average person their whole life to read. It will be exactly the same length as the Bible."

"Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light."

"My books hold between their covers every story I've ever known and still remember, or have now forgotten, or may one day read; they fill the space around me with ancient and new voices."

"The sole/soul purpose of a book is to be read."

"I curse in cursive. It's hard to read and harder take. But if you take it black, like coffee, then at least it may wake you up to the realities of life."

"I find Bukowski to be so edgy, gritty, and daring that he oozes romance, and if couples read him in bed they would appreciate what they have."

"Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories."

"Often on a wet day I begin counting up; what I've read and what I haven't read."

"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader."

"Generally speaking, books don't cause much harm. Except when you read them, that is. Then they cause all kinds of problems."

"Let us tenderly and kindly cherish therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write ."

"Your mind is your library of what you read."
