Our topic for this week is: quotes from or about books. I googled book quotes and decided to pick ten of my favorite quotes about books and reading.
1. “Oh this? It’s a ‘bookworm’. They live in books, and they love to eat important pr valuable words.” – CLAMP
2. “Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.” – Emilie Buchwald
3. “Books are the quietest companions, yet they speak the loudest truths.” – Unknown
4. “I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” – Jorge Luis Borges
5. “I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.” – J.K. Rowling
6. “It’s not hoarding if it’s books.” – Unknown
7. “I was born with a reading list I will never finish.” – Maud Casey
8. “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” – Oscar Wilde
9. “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” – C.S. Lewis
10. “Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.” – Lemony Snicket

That Emilie Buchwald quote is so very true. I have many happy memories of my parents reading to us and/or telling us stories.
These are great! Thanks for sharing.
These are great. As a retired teacher/librarian, I can’t emphasize enough to parents to read to and with their children. I love that Emilie Buchwald Quote.
