Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.
Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books.
Books are a real solace, friendships are good but action is better than all.
Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen. Like friends, too, we should return to them again and again for, like true friends, they will never fail us - never cease to instruct - never cloy.
You have to be a lover of books without expecting more of them than they give - a little pleasure, a little insight, a moment of escape, a deepening of your own humanity. Not much else.
People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.
Who learns most from a good book is the author.
Since I spend such a long time making each book, I only choose books that I'm really interested in and that I really love.
Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.
A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever.
