No one can read with profit that which he cannot learn to read with pleasure.

Best Quotes about Books - reading
I feel a kind of reverence for the first books of young authors. There is so much aspiration in them, so much audacious hope and trembling fear, so much of the heart's history, that all errors and shortcomings are for a while lost sight of in the amiable self assertion of youth.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man nothing else that he builds ever lasts monuments fall; nations perish; civilization grow old and die out; new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts, of the hearts of men centuries dead.
Day, Clarence
Books that you carry to the fire, and hold readily in your hand, are most useful after all.
Johnson, Samuel
Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.
Jackson, Holbrook
The constant habit of perusing devout books is so indispensable, that it has been termed the oil of the lamp of prayer. Too much reading, however, and too little meditation, may produce the effect of a lamp inverted; which is extinguished by the very excess of that ailment, whose property is to feed it.
More, Hannah
All the known world, excepting only savage nations, is governed by books.
Voltaire
Book love... is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures.
Trollope, Anthony
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It is wholesome and bracing for the mind to have its faculties kept on the stretch.
Steele, Sir Richard
Begin to read a book that will help you move toward your dream.
Brown, Les
Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.
Chambers, Robert
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Lee, Harper
A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books.
Kirk, E.N.
Tradition is but a meteor, which, if it once falls, cannot be rekindled. Memory, once interrupted, is not to be recalled. But written learning is a fixed luminary, which, after the cloud that had hidden it has passed away, is again bright in its proper station. So books are faithful repositories, which may be awhile neglected or forgotten, but when opened again, will again impart instruction.
Johnson
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
No furniture is so charming as books.
Smith, Sydney
It is books that teach us to refine our pleasures when young, and to recall them with satisfaction when we are old.
Hunt, Leigh
What gunpowder did for war the printing press has done for the mind.
Phillips, Wendell
It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along the shore.
Fuller, Margaret
A wicked book cannot repent.
Proverb
The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.
Brookner, Anita
Early in the morning, at break of day, in all the freshness and dawn of one's strength, to read a book --I call that vicious!
Nietzsche, Friedrich
You will, I am sure, agree with me that... if page 534 only finds us in the second chapter, the length of the first one must have been really intolerable.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan
Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery.
Rosenbach, A. S. W.
Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.
Marcel, Anthony
A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices.
Neruda, Pablo
He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.
Aubrey, John
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
What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it. Dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.
Terry, Helen
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
In science read the newest works, in literature read the oldest.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
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
My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine -- everybody drinks water.
Twain, Mark
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor is any pleasure so lasting.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley
Old books, you know well, are books of the world's youth, and new books are the fruits of its age.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.
Rochman, Hazel
A dose of poison can do its work but once. A bad book can go on poisoning minds for generations.
Murray, William
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.
Disney, Walt
Only a generation of readers will span a generation of writers.
Spielberg, Steven
You've really got to start hitting the books because it's no joke out here.
Lee, Spike
The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn't write them again, and wouldn't want to.
Rostand, Jean
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
The novel can't compete with cars, the movies, television, and liquor. A guy who's had a good feed and tanked up on good wine gives his old lady a kiss after supper and his day is over. Finished.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand
I wish I could write a beautiful book to break those hearts that are soon to cease to exist: a book of faith and small neat worlds and of people who live by the philosophies of popular songs.
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Fusselman, W.
Books are those faithful mirrors that reflect to our mind the minds of sages and heroes.
Gibbon, Edward
Surviving and thriving as a professional today demands two new approaches to the written word. First, it requires a new approach to orchestrating information, by skillfully choosing what to read and what to ignore. Second, it requires a new approach to integrating information, by reading faster and with greater comprehension.
Calano, Jimmy
A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images.
Camus, Albert
In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.
Lytton, Lord Edward
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
