The
failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision
and strengthens our most fatal tendency --the belief
that the here and now is all there is.
-- Allan Bloom
1930-1992, American
Educator, Author
A
conventional good read is usually a bad read, a
relaxing bath in what we know already. A true good
read is surely an act of innovative creation in
which we, the readers, become conspirators.
-- Malcolm Bradbury
1932-, British Author
You
don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just
get people to stop reading them.
-- Ray Bradbury
1920-, American
Science Fiction Writer
Some
books makes me want to go adventuring, others make
me feel that they have saved me the trouble.
