Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.

---

A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.

---

If a book is well written, I always find it too short.

---

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

Books are the mirrors of the soul.
