“De los diversos instrumentos del hombre, el más asombroso es, sin duda, el libro. Los demás son extensiones de su cuerpo. El microscopio, el telescopio, son extensiones de su vista; el teléfono es extensión de la voz; luego tenemos el arado y la espada, extensiones de su brazo. Pero el libro es otra cosa: el libro es una extensión de la memoria y de la imaginación
Of all man’s instruments, the most wondrous, no doubt, is the book. The other instruments are extensions of his body. The microscope, the telescope, are extensions of his sight; the telephone is the extension of his voice; then we have the plow and the sword, extensions of the arm. But the book is something else altogether: the book is an extension of memory and imagination.”

“O friend unseen, unborn, unknown,
Student of our sweet English tongue,
Read out my words at night, alone:
I was a poet, I was young.
Since I can never see your face,
And never shake you by the hand,
I send my soul through time and space
To greet you. You will understand.”

“Creo que la frase lectura obligatoria es un contrasentido, la lectura no debe ser obligatoria. ¿Debemos hablar de placer obligatorio? ¿Por qué? El placer no es obligatorio, el placer es algo buscado. ¿Felicidad obligatoria? La felicidad también la buscamos. [...]
Si un libro los aburre, déjenlo, no lo lean porque es famoso, no lean un libro porque es moderno, no lean un libro porque es antiguo. Si un libro es tedioso para ustedes, déjenlo. Ese libro no ha sido escrito para ustedes. La lectura debe ser una forma de la felicidad.”

“Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written; I'd rather boast about the ones I've read.”
