On Reading

"A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight."
- Robertson Davies

"A man ought to read just as inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good."
- Dr. Samuel Johnson

"The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries."
- Rene Descartes

"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad."
- George Bernard Shaw

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
- Dr. Seuss

"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."
- Ray Bradbury
