The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.

The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.

The best books are the ones that ask the most questions.

Who learns most from a good book is the author.

The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.

I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.

My favorite books are psychology, self-help, and I'm fascinated by Jung, by dream work.

The best books... are those that tell you what you know already.

Books should make somebody look at how they feel, be honest with themselves.

Sometimes a book influences me because it winds me up. There'll be something that gets under my skin and makes me think that I can do better.
