It's always nice to grab a book, cuddle up on a nice chair and dive into a world of adventures. We get to laugh with the characters, cry with the characters, and live with them. Books make us happy when we are sad, unlonely when we are alone, loved when we are miserable. Books aren't just books, they are our friends.
Here are some quotes about reading
1. "Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all." - Abraham Lincoln
When we read, we find others that share the same thoughts as us, we know that there are in fact people who share our ideas.
2. “She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.” -Louisa May Alcott
3. "There is no friend as loyal as a book." -Ernest Hemingway
Books don't judge you, or hurt you, or turn into something else behind your back.
4. When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library. -Jane Austen
Yeah, think about all the things you'll be able to do! You get to read whenever you want to, feel all the books sitting on the shelves, sit in those comfortable chairs...wow.
5. "You cannot open a book without learning something." -Confucius
When you open a book, it's like living the character's life, and learning from their experiments.
6. When in doubt, go to the library. -J.K. Rowling
Ah, Hermione, the frequent visitor to the library with a bag of books swung over her back. The library is indeed a nice place to acquire knowledge.
7. "I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
8. Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. -Frederick Douglass
Grow wings and fly higher and higher!
9. “What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.” - J.D. Salinger
10. We read to know that we are not alone. -C.S. Lewis
