Better Than a Cat

"In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read.... It is not true that we only have one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish."

-  S.I. Hayakawa

"When you reread a classic you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than was there before."

- Clifton Fadiman

"I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet gone ourselves."

- E.M. Forster
