“It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.”

“Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading”

“Now, one cannot read nonsense with impunity.”

“Fools have a habit of believing that everything written by a famous author is admirable. For my part I read only to please myself and like only what suits my taste.”

“Mr. Arthur Ashe, he was good. I read some of his books. He knew about everything, but he was real quiet and didn't talk much. I never met him.”
