Quote

Books are my weakness.

Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.

I long for books; I am utterly greedy about them.

As soon as the printing press started flooding Europe with books, people were complaining that there were too many books and that it was going to change philosophy and the course of human thought in ways that wouldn't necessarily be good.

I've got more ideas for books than I'll ever be able to use in my lifetime. I'm very fortunate like that.

It breaks my heart that we are always being nudged toward the most recently published books, when so many worthy books have gone unexplored.

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.

I think good books have to make a few people angry.

I think we all like to get away from our troubles and worries with a good book.

Sometimes when I find myself very irritated about a topic, I know it's my next book.
