Let books be your dining table, And you shall be full of delights, Let them be your mattress, And you shall sleep restful nights.

Let me just say something that I forgot, I also hoped and this was very true in the beginning - that this would also be a place that people would be able to walk in to the fountain and use it in a nice way of reading and examining the quotations on the blocks. Lawrence Halprin

Let us read with method, and propose to ourselves an end to which our studies may point.  The use of reading is to aid us in thinking.      Edward Gibbon

Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books. John Ruskin 

Lifetransforming ideas have always come to me through books.”  Bell Hooks

Literacy arouses hopes, not only in society as a whole but also in the individual who is striving for fulfillment, happiness and personal benefit by learning how to read and write. Literacy... means far more than learning how to read and write... The aim is to transmit... knowledge and promote social participation.

Literacy is not a luxury, it is a right and a responsibility. If our world is to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century we must harness the energy and creativity of all our citizens.Clinton

Literature is my Utopia.     Helen Keller

Lord! when you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life.  Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book.  Christopher Morley
