A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.

It's all about people. It's about networking and being nice to people and not burning any bridges. Your book is going to impress, but in the end it is people that are going to hire you.
A book is a journey: It's a thing you agree to go on with somebody, and I think every reader's experience of a book is going to be different.
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
I find it fascinating that a lot of business books that do well are from people who've never made any money in business.
Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.

I've never really been satisfied with a book. I always want it to be better.
