“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
― Mark Twain

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”
― Alan Bennett, The History Boys

“Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy.”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

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