I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us. ~Dorothy Day

I suppose this is could be classed as a classic saying, its from about 60 years ago or more. I always thought it made sense.

I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. Bilbo Baggins-from Fellowship of the Ring. One of my favorites. A real classic.

I just came across this one:
"Please stop patronizing those who are reading a book - The Da Vinci Code, maybe- because they are enjoying it. For a start, none of us know what kind of an effort this represents for the individual reader. It could be his or her first full-length adult novel; it might be the book that finally reveals the purpose and joy of reading to someone who has hitherto been mystified by the attraction books exert on others. And anyway, reading for enjoyment is what we should all be doing. I don't mean we should all be reading chick lit or thrillers (although if that's what you want to read, it's fine by me, because here's something no one else will tell you: if you don't read the classics, or the novel that won this year's Booker Prize, then nothing bad will happen to you; more importantly,nothing good will happen to you if you do); I simply mean that turning pages should not be like walking through thick mud. The whole purpose of books is that we read them, and if you find you can't, it might not be your inadequacy that's to blame. "Good" books can be pretty awful sometimes." - Nick Hornby

@Seregil

Brilliant ... could not agree more

That couldnt be more true. Reading is about what you enjoy, not what other people think you should read. If you like to read garbage, thats your business. Nobody should be telling you you cant read garbage. If you like to read class and culture, thats all right too. It all depends what a person likes, people have different tastes. If everyone was the same, wouldnt it be a dull and uninteresting world?
