Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Sir Richard Steele
There are two motives for reading a book: one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.
Ezra Pound (1885 - 1972)
The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts.
Rene Descartes (1596 - 1650)
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
John Locke (1632 - 1704)
