Where words leave off, music begins. —Heinrich Heine

---

Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.

---

Nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book.

---

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.

---

Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.

---

If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.

---

To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.

---

I can survive well enough on my own – if given the proper reading material.

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.
