Every man is a volume if you know how to read him.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Man is what he reads.
Books are men of higher stature; the only men that speak aloud for future times to hear.
Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting.
With a book, there's no volume to turn up. You're very naked with a book.
I have always advised men to read.
Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book, until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.
Reading is an art form, and every man can be an artist.
Man is the measure of all things.
Why need I volumes, if one word suffice?
Volume depends precisely on the writer's having been able to sit in a room every day, year after year, alone.
