A Guilty Thing Surprised (Chief Inspector Wexford Mysteries)

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”

“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
