Lent 2014, Day 17: Book lover quotes

So, I spoke to my friend yesterday and she kindly told me she was intentionally vague about her prompt for me... She just wanted to see what I could/would be inspired to write about "books." Well, she already knows of (and shares) my love of them, so I wanted to give her something a little more. However, I'm still working on that... In the meantime, here are some fun quotes about books:

“You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.” - C. S. Lewis

 

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” - Oscar Wilde

 

“Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.” - Helen Keller

 

“O day of days when we can read! The reader and the book, either without the other is naught.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” - Ernest Hemingway

 

“A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.” - Henry David Thoreau
