The Bookish Ashley

Happy World Book Day everyone! As a bookstagrammer, I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes about the joy of reading:

1. “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies…The man who never reads lives only one.” – George R.R. Martin

2. “Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” – Charles W. Eliot

3. “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss

4. “Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes for a while.” – Malorie Blackman

5. “A book is a dream that you hold in your hand.” – Neil Gaiman

I hope these quotes inspire you to pick up a book and lose yourself in its pages today! What are some of your favorite quotes about reading? Share them in the comments below.
