| "To read well, that is to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise," Henry David Thoreau writes in Walden. "A written word is choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself." |

Mortimer Jerome Adler : "In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you." (source : Favorite Books & Reading Quotations )
Rene Descartes in Discourse on the Method : The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries.
Once there was a well known philosopher and scholar who devoted himself to the study of Zen for many years. On the day that he finally attained enlightenment, he took all of his books out into the yard, and burned them all.
