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
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.The man who never reads lives only one.
George R.R. Martin
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.
Mary Wortley Montague.
Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.
Jean Rhys
