― Anchee Min, Red Azalea: A Memoir

“If you obey all of the rules, you miss all of the fun.”
― Katharine Hepburn

“You should never read just for "enjoyment." Read to make yourself smarter! Less judgmental. More apt to understand your friends' insane behavior, or better yet, your own. Pick "hard books." Ones you have to concentrate on while reading. And for god's sake, don't let me ever hear you say, "I can't read fiction. I only have time for the truth." Fiction is the truth, fool! Ever hear of "literature"? That means fiction, too, stupid.”
― John Waters, Role Models

“Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.”
― John Locke
