Irving Stone, on reading:

It's not macho to read?

Nonsense.

Reading is a stouthearted activity, disporting courage, keenness, stick-to-itness.

It is also, in my experience, one of the most thrilling and enduring delights of life, equal to a home run, a slam-dunk, or breaking the four-minute mile.

- Irving Stone.
