My lifelong hobby, apart from revolution, is reading. If I don't study for a day, I can't live. ---Sun Yat-sen

He has read tens of thousands of volumes and writes like a master. ---Du Fu

Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. ---Gu Yanwu

There is no other way to study, but to be determined and open-minded, and to play it repeatedly and carefully will be effective. ---Zhu Xi

If you don’t have any hobbies in reading, you can do as much as you want. If you don't read a lot of books first, you will be at a loss or lose your preference. Go broad before going deep, and be broad before becoming specialized. ---Lu Xun

The method of reading is to proceed step by step, read thoroughly and think deeply. ---Zhu Bo

Reading should be done step by step; read a book only when you are familiar with it, and don't be reckless, as it will be useless to read too many books.

---Hu Juren [Ming Dynasty]
