| Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all. |
| It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. |
| The world was hers for the reading. |
| There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts. |
| My Best Friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read. |
| But for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short. |
| I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book. |
| Books are like mirrors: if a fool looks in, you cannot expect a genius to look out. |
| Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry. |
| Books are a uniquely portable magic. |
