Reading Rabbit 005

Are you a reader? I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. I read for many reasons: escape, meditation, knowledge, meaning, and pure love of story.
What follows are some quotes about the love of reading, most of which came from two great sites: Search Quotes and Quote Garden.

Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere. ~ Mary Schmich
To read a book for the first time is to make and acquaintance with a new friend; to read if for a second time is to meet an old one. ~ Chinese Saying
I have never known any distress that an hour’s reading did not relieve. ~ Charles De Montesquieu
The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries. ~ Rene Descartes
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. ~ George R.R. Martin
A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint…. what I began by reading, I must finish by acting. ~ Henry David Thoreau
I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke in me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. ~ Malcolm X
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry. ~ John Andrew Holmes
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it give you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. ~ Elizabeth Hardwick
If you read a good book, you’ve got a friend for life. ~ My nephew, Matthew, at age nine.
