It is not true that 'we have only one life to live'; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
Samuel Ichiye HayakawaWithout words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Herman HesseAll the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.
MoliereThere is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written.
Oscar WildeDo not read as children do to amuse yourself or like the ambitious for the purpose of instruction. No read in order to live.
Gustave Flaubert
