I'm a huge fan of quotes and since I slacked off on today's Thoughtful Thursday post I thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes about reading. These are listed in no order:
"We read to know we are not alone."
- C.S. Lewis
"To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark."
- Victor Huge
"I can not live without books."
- Thomas Jefferson
"If one cannot enjoy a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all."
- Oscar Wilde
"There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island."
- Walt Disney
"The more that you read, the more thing you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
- Dr Seuss
"A home without books is a body without a soul."
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting."
- Aldous Huxley
"I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves."
- Anna Quindlen
"Good children's literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child."

The worth of a book is measured by what you can take away from it.

Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.

A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend.

Delete"Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it." - Lloyd Alexander
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is by C.S. Lewis~
ReplyDeleteNo book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty...Those of us who are blamed when old for reading childish books were blamed when children for reading books too old for us. No reader worth his salt trots along in obedience to a timetable.
I LOVE this quote! It makes me want to yell exactly! after reading it.
DeleteFor the longest time, the Cicero quote was the only book-related quote I knew so, naturally, it was my favorite quote in the universe. It's what inspired my blog name :]
ReplyDeleteThese were wonderful. Thank you so much. And have to say I love love the Anna Q. quote. I do agree!
