If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.
Even when I'm writing plays I enjoy having company and mentally I think of that company as the company I'm writing for.
I like to be read. That's most of what any writer could want.
Writing is a lonely business.
I just have never got into reading.
I don't have a day job, so I read any time of day.
I've loved reading all my life.
Reading has always been the great love of my life.
It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.
Live always in the best company when you read.
