A Little Reading Inspiration for You – Great Quotes!

To inspire YOU, my adult friend, to grab a book and read this week (oh, how it will calm your soul as we rev up into holiday season!), I’ve gathered several great quotes on reading:

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”  ~Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” ~George R.R. Martin, A Dance With Dragons

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” ~Charles William Eliot

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.” ~Voltaire

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” ~Frederick Douglass

“The world was hers for the reading.” ~Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.” ~Jacqueline Kennedy

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.” ~William Styron, Conversations with William Styron

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”  ~Charles William Eliot
