“I read my eyes out and can't read half enough…. The more one reads the more one sees we have to read.”
— John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams (December 28, 1794); Adams papers, Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts.
“To my mind there are no advantages and many disadvantages in lectures compared with reading.”
— Charles Darwin, The Autobiography of Charles Darwin 1809-1882. With the Original Omissions Restored. (1958) Edited and with appendix and notes by his grand-daughter Nora Barlow. Page 47
“Get the reader to turn the page. Why? Because if the reader doesn't turn the page, the reader will never know what you need to tell that reader.”
— Erica Jong in (quote at 12:38 of 36:38)
“People who spend their whole life traveling abroad end up having plenty of places where they can find hospitality but no real friendships. The same must needs be the case with people who never set about acquiring an intimate acquaintanceship with any one great writer, but skip from one to another, paying flying visits to them all.”
— Seneca, Letter 2 (Robin Campbell trans.)
“We have not read an author till we have seen his object, whatever it may be, as he saw it.”
— Thomas Carlyle, Essays, Goethe's Helena.
“He that I am reading seems always to have the most force.”
— Michel de Montaigne, Apology for Raimond Sebond.
