“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
CICERO
"One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time. "
CARL SAGAN
"If you would tell me the heart of a man, tell me not what he reads, but what he rereads."
Francois Mauriac
"A cardinal principle of good fiction is: the theme and the plot of a novel must be integrated—as thoroughly integrated as mind and body or thought and action in a rational view of man."
Ayn Rand
"Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly. "
Sir Francis Bacon
"Once you have read a book you care about, some part of it is always with you."
Louis L’Amour
"You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."
Ray Bradbury
