Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.

---

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

---

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

---

A good would take me out of myself and then stuff me back in, outsized, now, and uneasy with the fit.

---

If a book is well written, I always find it too short.

---

I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.

---

Life isn’t about finding the path; it’s about leaving a trail.

---

A book is a gift you can open again and again.

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

Nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book.
