I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me.

some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.
~ Malcolm X ~
No matter how busy you may think you are,
you must find time for reading,
or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.
~ Atwood H. Townsend ~
For books are more than books, they are the life,
the very heart and core of ages past,
the reason why men lived and worked and died,
the essence and quintessence of their lives.
~ Amy Lowell ~
