"Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn't read much doesn't know much. And a nation that doesn't know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns." — Jim Trelease, The Read-A-Loud Handbook
"Reading surrounds us, labels us, defines us." — Rich Gold, author
"When I have a little money I buy books, and if any is left, I buy food and clothes." — Desiderius Erasmus, classical scholar
"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." — Sir Francis Bacon, Renaissance author
