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

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

To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

Everything one reads is nourishment of some sort - good food or junk food - and one assumes it all goes in and has its way with your brain cells.

When reading, only read. When eating, only eat. When thinking, only think.

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

Reading should be a pleasure, not a chore.

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

Someone taught me how to eat properly. Learning from others is important when it's not working for yourself.

For people who are readers, reading is important to them.
