Hello Book Club

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”

― Oscar Wilde

“And if our book consumption remains as low as it has been, at least let us admit that it is because reading is a less exciting pastime than going to the dogs, the pictures or the pub, and not because books, whether bought or borrowed, are too expensive.”
― George Orwell

”Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you.” – Carlos Ruiz Zafón

What good is a book that does not even transport us beyond all books?

Friedrich Nietzsche

Never to read another book that was born and baptized (with ink) at the same time.

—Friedrich Nietzsche

It would be worthy of the age to print together the collected Scriptures or Sacred Writings of the several nations, the Chinese, the Hindoos, the Persians, the Hebrews, and others, as the Scripture of mankind. The New Testament is still, perhaps, too much on the lips and in the hearts of men to be called a Scripture in this sense. Such a juxtaposition and comparison might help to liberalize the faith of men.... This would be the Bible, or Book of Books, which let the missionaries carry to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Henry David Thoreau

“Ever’body’s askin’ that. ‘What we comin’ to?’ Seems to me we don’t never come to nothin’. Always on the way.” — John Steinbeck
