"Fill your house with stacks of books,..." - Quote by Dr Seuss

“I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I'll probably... drop writing children's books and become a political cartoonist again.”

“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.”

“Big Z, little Z, what begins with Z? I do. I'm a zizzer zazzer zuzz, as you can plainly see.”

“The taste for books was an early one. As a child he was sometimes found at midnight by a page still reading. They took his taper away, and he bred glow-worms to serve his purpose. They took the glow-worms away and he almost burnt the house down with a tinder.”

“Come, and take choice of all my library, And so beguile thy sorrow.”

“In great literature, I become a thousand different men but still remain myself.”

“There are books that one reads over and over again, books that become part of the furniture of one's mind and alter one's whole attitude to life, books that one dips into but never reads through, books that one reads at a single sitting and forgets a week later.”

“Classics which at home are drowsily read have a strange charm in a country inn, or in the transom of a merchant brig.”

“I, alone, could never have produced this book. I say this mainly in case there are lawsuits.”
