Quotes to Enjoy


 

“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms."

 - Angela Carter

 
“We read to know we are not alone.” 
 - C.S. Lewis

 

“No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.” 
 - Confucius

 

“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” 
 - Dr. Seuss, "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!"

 

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” 
 - Frederick Douglass

 

“It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations--something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.” 
 - Katherine Patterson

 

 

      “Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting”

 - Aldous Huxley
