Busy bees have no time to be sad. — Blake
Books subtly influence the human heart, and poetry nurtures one's temperament and character. What is learned in youth is remembered in old age, as if one had experienced it personally. Books are inexpensive and of high quality, as essential as the air we breathe. — Hazlitt
Beyond the knowledge in books, one must also gain common sense from the practicalities of life. — Mao Dun
Seeking knowledge is human nature. — Aristotle
Finding subjects in books that lead you into the depths, and casting everything else aside, is to cast aside the excessive mental burden and everything that distracts you from the essence. Reading makes one perfect, thinking makes one profound, and conversation makes one clear. — Franklin
Reading requires three qualities: persistence, memory, and insight. With persistence but no memory, reading is in vain; with memory but no insight, books become dead text. With all three, one becomes a master of knowledge. — Wei Minglun
We should read more, and more importantly, read good books. In the maze of romance and martial arts, we must find our way back and dare to break free; in the ocean of books, we must learn to distinguish and be good at choosing.
Books are things that nurture the soul.
