More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have.

Observation more than books and experience more than persons are the prime educators.

The institution of a public library containing books on education would be well adapted for the information of teachers many of whom are not able to purchase expensive publications on those subjects.

I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks it's what children bring into school with them.

Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children's right and it is also our best hope and their best hope for the future.

My parents were keen for me to have the education they themselves never had. They weren't able to guide me towards particular books but they encouraged me to read which I did randomly and compulsively.

I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.

Upon books the collective education of the race depends they are the sole instruments of registering perpetuating and transmitting thought.

When I get a little money I buy books and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
