 Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Be as careful of the books you read, as of the company you keep;
for your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as by the latter.
Never judge a book by its movie.
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
Wear the old coat and buy the new book.
I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage.
