The books that help you most
are those which make you think that most.
The hardest way of learning is
that of easy reading;
but a great book that comes from a great thinker
is a ship of thought,
deep freighted with truth and beauty.
Pablo Neruda
The best moments in reading are when you come across something -
a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things -
which you had thought special and particular to you.
And now, here it is, set down by someone else,
a person you have never met,
someone even who is long dead.
And it is as if a hand has come out,
and taken yours.
Alan Bennett
A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone,
if it is to keep its edge.
George R.R. Martin
You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture.
Just get people to stop reading them.
Ray Bradbury

“I still love the bookness of books, the smell of books: I am a book fetishist- books to me are the coolest and sexiest and most wonderful things there are”~ Neil Gaiman
Great quotes Jonie…They reflect deep meanings which we need to understand…
Nothing beats the thrill of losing yourself in a completely different world, I adore books.
The Alan Bennett quote surely hits home with me!
When the batteries are dead and the chargers broke or the internet is down or there’s no electricity… I would rather have a real book that you can touch and break open and read by candle light…
Une des meilleur façon, de s’évader.
J’aime celle de Bennett.
Thank you very much Jonie ~
