"To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark."
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
"Anyone who has a library and a garden wants for nothing."
Cicero
"If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away,
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry...
Emily Dickinson
I love this!
"Readers may be divided into four classes:
1.) Sponges, who absorb all that they read and return it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtied.
2.) Sand-glasses, who retain nothing and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time.
3.) Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read.
4.) Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Bon Voyage
May you read with zest!
