Haines

That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse
With the old sages and philosophers;

With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;
Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues.
~Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher
A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint.... What I began द्वारा reading, I must finish द्वारा acting. ~Henry David Thoreau

O for a Booke and a shdie nooke, eyther in-a-doore या out;
With the grene leaves whisp'ring overhede, या the Streete cryes all about.
Where I maie Reade all at my ease, both of the Newe and Olde;
For a jollie goode Booke whereon to looke is better to me than Golde.
~John Wilson

It often requires और courage to read some पुस्तकें than it does to fight a battle. ~Sutton Elbert Griggs
