In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.

In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.

If your friend wishes to read your 'Plutarch's Lives,' 'Shakespeare,' or 'The Federalist Papers,' tell him gently but firmly, to buy a copy. You will lend him your car or your coat - but your books are as much a part of you as your head or your heart.

There is only one situation I can think of in which men and women make an effort to read better than they usually do. It is when they are in love and reading a love letter.

We love even when our love is not requited.
