Quote

Reading is a means of thinking with another person's mind; it forces you to stretch your own.

I try to read for pleasure whenever I can - it's a great way just to shut it off for a while so your brain doesn't get fried.

Reading is to the mind what exercising is to the body.

Reading has been the fuel of my motivation: it has changed the direction in which I have traveled, and it has enhanced my creative imagination more than any other activity I have ever pursued.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of with one's own.

What I see in the book is an exquisite form of technology: one that doesn't require a power source and can be passed from hand to hand and lasts a lot longer than an electronic reader.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Reading is a technology for perspective-taking. When someone else's thoughts are in your head, you are observing the world from that person's vantage point.

If after you read something, you connect with it, you want to do it.
