Reading Quotes

Since reading is one of my favorite things, and I don't just read to get through the book and try to read more than everybody else and the get the most pages,  here are some quotes I LOVE about reading!



A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face.  It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.  ~Edward P. Morgan




If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.  ~Toni Morrison




Books are delightful society.  If you go into a room and find it full of books - even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome.  ~William Ewart Gladstone


A blessed companion is a book, - a book that, fitly chosen, is a lifelong friend,... a book that, at a touch, pours its heart into our own.  ~Douglas Jerrold

Think about these and try to ponder them....then go read a good book!
