What gunpowder did for war the printing press has done for the mind.

Best Quotes about Books - reading
God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.
Channing, William Ellery
Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Rohn, Jim
Books give not wisdom where none was before. But where some is, there reading makes it more.
Harington, John
What we become depends on what we read after all the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is the collection of books.
Carlyle, Thomas
Everything in the world exists to end up in a book.
Mallarme, Stephane
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
Mccosh
The Brahmins say that in their books there are many predictions of times in which it will rain. But press those books as strongly as you can, you can not get out of them a drop of water. So you can not get out of all the books that contain the best precepts the smallest good deed.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Jefferson, Thomas
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.
Frost, Robert
A wicked book cannot repent.
Proverb
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Carlyle, Thomas
The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.
Bachelard, Gaston
Books in a large university library system: 2, 000,000. Books in an average large city library: 1 0,000. Average number of books in a chain bookstore: 30, 000. Books in an average neighborhood branch library: 20, 000.
Horowitz, Lois
We ought to reverence books; to look on them as useful and mighty things. If they are good and true, whether they are about religion, politics, farming, trade, law, or medicine, they are the message of Christ, the maker of all things -- the teacher of all truth.
Kingsley, Charles
Read Homer once, and you can read no more. For all books else appear so mean, and so poor. Verse will seem prose; but still persist to read, and Homer will be all the books you need.
Buckingham, Duke of
Books succeed, and lives fail.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
There are very many people who read simply to prevent themselves from thinking.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Lee, Harper
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Fusselman, W.
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost always a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices.
Mann, Horace
Read nothing that you do not care to remember, and remember nothing you do not mean to use.
Blackie, Professor
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
Disney, Walt
There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Brodsky, Joseph
No story is the same to us after a lapse of time; or rather we who read it are no longer the same interpreters.
Eliot, George
Thy books should, like thy friends, not many be, yet such wherein men may thy judgment see.
Wycherley, William
A dose of poison can do its work but once. A bad book can go on poisoning minds for generations.
Murray, William
What is important is not to be able to read rapidly, but to be able to decide what not to read.
Mccay, James T.
My books kept me from the ring, the dog-pit, the tavern, and the saloon.
Hood, Thomas
The chief knowledge that a man gets from reading books is the knowledge that very few of them are worth reading.
Mencken, H. L.
Begin to read a book that will help you move toward your dream.
Brown, Les
The great American novel has not only already been written, it has already been rejected.
Dane, Frank
You will be the same person in five as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''
In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.
Lytton, Lord Edward
Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind.
Lowell, James Russell
I would sooner read a timetable or a catalog than nothing at all.
Maugham, W. Somerset
I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.
Gissing, George Robert
Old books, you know well, are books of the world's youth, and new books are the fruits of its age.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman other or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.
Eagleton, Terry
The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one's mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.
Orwell, George
The age of the book is almost gone.
Steiner, George
Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.
Chambers, Robert
I heard his library burned down and both books were destroyed -- and one of them hadn't even been colored in yet.
Dawkins, John
Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
Jackson, Holbrook
Learning to read has been reduced to a process of mastering a series of narrow, specific, hierarchical skills. Where armed-forces recruits learn the components of a rifle or the intricacies of close order drill by the numbers, recruits to reading learn its mechanics sound by sound and word by word.
Gross, Jacquelyn
When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.
Berger, John
Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.
Morely, John
No one can read with profit that which he cannot learn to read with pleasure.
Porter, Noah
From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
Marx, Groucho
What is reading, but silent conversation.
Landor, Walter Savage
