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

I think education is one of the greatest tools for most kids not only to expand their book knowledge, but their ability to experience new things - I think it opens more doors than any other experience I can think of.

I do think that books are invaluable as a reservoir of what we call the human space. And this is why I think that, even if they're threatened, the work that they do has an incalculable merit.

Books are an ancient and proven medium. Their physical form inspires passion.

Books are a finer world within the world.

I don't like books that seem to want to teach me things. Which is not to say that one doesn't learn from books - but you do your own learning in your own way.

I know in this time of great technological advancement, the idea of reading a book seems almost anachronistic, but I think it's worth preserving.

I'm sure most parents read to their children to explain what certain things mean. So books are a good way to convey a message to anybody. Everybody reads.

My books are just pure escapism for kids.

Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity?
