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.

Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.

There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.

When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.

Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.

If you would tell me the heart of a man, tell me not what he reads, but what he rereads.
