“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“Think before you speak. Read before you think.”
― Fran Lebowitz, The Fran Lebowitz Reader

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.”
― Ezra Pound
