"Generally speaking, men are influenced by books which clarify their own thought, which express their own notions well, or which suggest to them ideas which their minds are already predisposed to accept." ~ Carl Lotus Becker
"In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but how many can get through to you." ~ Mortimer Adler
"A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity, and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon, and by moonlight." ~ Robertson Davies.
