“Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.”
“What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.”
“Thank you for sending me a copy of your book -- I'll waste no time reading it.”
“That is a good book which is opened with expectation, and closed with delight and profit.”
“God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.”
“I read part of it all the way through.”
