“It had never occurred to me that real life might offer the smallest portion of the happiness I found in reading.”

“Books knew more than you did, as a rule.”

“I read not with any particular object in mind, nor really with the intention of retaining any information about the subjects that I chose, but rather because the act of reading was a habit, and because it was soothing and, perhaps, from a lifetime’s inculcated faith in the explanatory power of books, the half-held belief that somewhere in those hectares upon hectares of printed pages I might find that fact which would make sense of my growing unhappiness, allowing me to peel back the obscurant layers of myself and lay bare at last the solid structure underneath.”

“Once in a very long time you come across a book that is far, far more than the ink, the glue and the paper, a book that seeps into your blood. With such a book the impact isn’t necessarily obvious at first…but the more you read it and re-read it, and live with it, and travel with it, the more it speaks to you, and the more you realize that you cannot live without that book. It’s then that the wisdom hidden inside, the seed, is passed on.”

“In an established love of reading there is a policy of insurance guaranteeing certain happiness till death.”

“No two persons ever read the same book.”

“There are few nicer things than sitting up in bed, drinking strong tea, and reading.”

“فكر قبل أن تتكلم، واقرأ قبل أن تفكر”

“ان الناس لاتعرف ان كتابا واحدا كفيل بان يغير مجرى حياة الانسان.”

“He that reads and grows no wiser seldom suspects his own deficiency, but complains of hard words and obscure sentences, and asks why books are written which cannot be understood.”

“Reading messed with my brain in an unaccountable way. It made me happy; or something.”

“Never read a book through merely because you have begun it.”

“I love words.  I crave descriptions that overwhelm my imagination with vivid detail.  I dwell on phrases that make my heart thrum.  I cherish expressions that pierce my emotions and force the tears to spill over.   In essence, I long for a writer’s soul sealed in ink on the page.”
