What is your favorite quotes about books or reading

Mine is:

A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. ~William Styron, interview, Writers at Work, 1958

"I have never known any distress that an hours reading did not relieve"

unfortunately I have no idea who to attribute this gem of wisdom to.
................

Another one I like:
"Ye who read are still among the living;
But I who write shall have long since gone my way
into the region of shadows" (Edgar Allen Poe)

I find this one from my old friends note:

There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read. :
G.K. Chesterton
