importance of reading quotes

You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

O Day of days when we can read! The reader and the book, either without the other is naught.

Reading and writing, like everything else, improve with practice. And, of course, if there are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy will be dead, and democracy – which many believe goes hand in hand with it – will be dead as well.

For people who are readers, reading is important to them.
