You're a hopeless romantic, said Faber. It would be funny if it were not serious. It's not books you need, it's some of the things that once were in books. The same things could be in the 'parlor families' today. The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through the radios, and televisors, but are not. No,no it's not books at all you're looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type or receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us. Of course you couldn't know this, of course you still can't understand what I mean when i say all this. You are intuitively right, that's what counts.

The products your life must have could be in the form books you have written from the values you have added to yourself.

There is no friend like a book there is no beauty like a kind heart.

A library is more precious than a bank.

Just as the bird needs wings to fly, a leader needs useful information to flow. Leaders learn.

Once you can write an alphabet, you can write a book of 100 million pages. It's just a matter of believing it as possible, and taking the cross millimetre by millimetre.

Old words are reborn with new faces.

The gift of literature is the grace of knowledge.

We spend great sum of money to buy good books, so that we can satisfy our pleasure of reading.

The truth is hidden in books.

I hunger for books, I search for knowledge.

Reading is the fountain of all knowledge.

There so much to learn from a single book.

I love to read for my pleasure.

You have to want the book enough to read it.

I spent all the money I had, to get the sacred books of my life.

The world of books is the wealth of being.

We ought to read daily.

We all fight for money, some for power, but most of all for love. But me, I fight to become a champion.

When you read a book and its words agree with what you think, your view of the world or your feelings at the time, you discover that there are people out there that think like you. That takes away a feeling of loneliness.
