Words of Wisdom on Books
A book must be an ice-axe to break the seas frozen inside our soul. A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people
are still thinking. A classic is a book which people praise and don't read. Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to
read a book. A well-composed book is a magic carpet on which we are wafted to a world
that we cannot enter in any other way. Books are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time. Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled "This could
change your life." Books open your mind, broaden your mind, and strengthen you as nothing
else can. If information is the currency of democracy, then libraries are the banks. It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will
be when you can't help it. It took people 10 years to figure out that while stuck in a morning commute,
they could be listening to a book. Master book, but do not let them master you. Read to live, not live to
read. The age of the book is about gone. The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the
old ones. To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and
hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations - such is a pleasure
beyond compare. TV. If kids are entertained by two letters, imagine the fun they'll have
with twenty-six. Open your child's imagination. Open a book. You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel
a little as if you have lost a friend.
