“It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.”

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one."

"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book."
