My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine--everybody drinks water.

Books! I dunno if I ever told you this, but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.

Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.

My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine -- everybody drinks water.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
