Beware of the man of one book.
Good children's literature appeals not only to
the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child.
A library is a hospital for the mind.
People die, but books never die.
If you can read this, thank a teacher.
I've traveled the world twice over,
Met the famous; saints and sinners,
Poets and artists, kings and queens,
Old stars and hopeful beginners,
I've been where no-one's been before,
Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.
Learn as much by writing as by reading.
Show me the books he loves and I shall know the man
far better than through mortal friends.
Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to
mankind, which are delivered down from generation to
generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn,
Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up
its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.
That is a good book which is opened with
expectation and closed in profit.
She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.
When I look back, I am so impressed again
with the life-giving power of literature.
If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of
myself in the world, I would do that again by reading,
just as I did when I was young.
Beware of the man of one book.
I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander.
He had read much, if one considers his long life;
but his contemplation was much more than his reading.
He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men
he should have known no more than other men
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted;
nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
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 maketh a full man, conference a ready man,
and writing an exact man.
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.
Books are men of higher stature;
the only men that speak aloud for future times to hear.
The printing press is either the greatest blessing
or the greatest curse of modern times,
sometimes one forgets which it is.
He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend,
a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter.
By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently
divert and pleasantly entertain himself,
as in all weathers, as in all fortunes.
The world may be full of fourth-rate writers
but it's also full of fourth-rate readers.
Hypocrite reader -- my fellow -- my brother!
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party,
a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.
A book is good company.
It is full of conversation without loquacity.
It comes to your longing with full instruction,
but pursues you never.
Books are not made for furniture,
but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house.
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out.
Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it,
whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects
of his inner self that are opened by the text,
that road cut through the interior jungle forever
closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement
of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming,
whereas the copier submits it to command.
All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape.
It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.
When we read a story, we inhabit it.
The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls.
What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story.
And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.
I read the newspaper avidly.
It is my one form of continuous fiction.
Reading is not a duty, and has consequently
no business to be made disagreeable.
Books, I found, had the power to make time
stand still, retreat or fly into the future.
The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision
and strengthens our most fatal tendency--
the belief that the here and now is all there is.

As parents, you're the most important first step in your children's journey into the wonderful world of reading. It is up to you to create the most supportive environment that turns your child on to reading - such as reading aloud to them often during the day and before bedtime, and placing age appropriate books for children around the house, so that the child will have access to plenty of books. Reading often to your child will help develop their interest in books and stories, and soon they will want to read stories on their own.
For a simple, step-by-step program that can help your child learn to read visit this site: http://readingprogram.toptips.org/
