Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity

The young need discipline and a full bookcase.

The wise man reads both books and life itself.

When a new book is published, read an old one.

What better place to kill time than a library?

Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.

Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.

Bloodthirsty little beasts. Never trust a duck.

Reading a book is something you do to yourself.

I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.

. . . she read with undifferentiated glee . . .

Real lives have no end. Real books have no end.

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.

I am obsessed with books.I am a book collector.

There are few sights sadder than a ruined book.
