Some of our favorite quotes……
"I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke in me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive."
Malcolm X
"Only a generation of readers will span a generation of writers."
Steven Spielberg
"When you have mastered numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading books. You will be reading meanings."
Harold S. Geneen
