What counts, in the long run, is not what you read; it is what you sift through your own mind; it is the ideas and impressions that are aroused in you by your reading.

In reality, every reader is, while reading, the reader of his own self.

You are what you think.

If you read, you'll judge.

You become what you understand.

why are you reading

What counts, in the long run, is not what you read; it is what you sift through your own mind; it is the ideas and impressions that are aroused in you by your reading. It is the ideas stirred in your own mind, the ideas which are a reflection of your own thinking, which make you an interesting person

They say, tell me what you've read and I'll tell you who you are.

Believe everything you read

Del azar de lo leído depende lo que eres

But the act of reading a book is really about you and what you get from it. All that matters is what you do with the ideas, no matter the source. Apply them to your own life in your own way. It was never about them. It’s about you.

The more you read, the more things you will know.

You become what you study.

What's in a book, is not what an author thought he put into it, it's what the reader get out of it.
