A house without books must be sad. Even sadder a house of books without people.

Manuel Rivas

A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them.

Horace Mann

A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. He cheats them! Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it.

Horace Mann

For me, the keyboard is always an additional sound to the piano. Piano is the main instrument; I can't go anywhere without acoustic piano. It's been my best friend since I was 6 years old.

Hiromi Uehara

I grew up in a house without many books. The books the nuns made us read in school didn't interest me.

John Dufresne

A house without books is a poor house, even if beautiful rugs are covering its floors and precious wallpapers and pictures cover its walls

Hermann Hesse

A house without books is like a room without windows.

Horace Mann

I grew up in rural Oregon in a log house with bark left on inside and out. We had no electricity, a massive stone fireplace, a grand piano, and tons of books.

Virginia Euwer Wolff

Never can a room look comfortable without books ... Books ought to be scattered all over the house, even in the passages, in the bedroom, les livres du chevet, everywhere.

Elisabeth of Wied

I grew up in a middle-class house without books, without art. No one around me wrote poetry or even read it.

Edward Hirsch

I started playing the piano from the age of three and I started teaching myself; we always had a piano round the house.

Ella Henderson

Get up from the piano ... Oscar is in the house. Who wants to be at the piano when Oscar is there? Find something else to do.

Benny Carter

I can play the piano. I started off with lessons, and then, as we always had a piano in the house, I would play around and became quite good.

Louise Nurding

What kind of life can you have in a house without books?

Sherman Alexie

We never had books in the house. Not any book in our house. Not a Bible, not anything. So, I would go the library from a very young age and get the books out.

Dean Koontz

The books in Mo and Meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. There where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. Books on the TV set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. They welcomed Meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. And sometimes you fall over them.

Cornelia Funke
