Warren Buffett Quotes

I suggest that an education and reading and facts aren't bad things on which to ponder a few notions.

A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others.

Never write on a subject until you have read yourself full of it.

I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets.

I really like knowledge and reading books and just generally immersing myself in information.

I like to consume information. I like to learn.

A library is many things. It's a place to go, to get in out of the rain. It's a place to go if you want to sit and think. But particularly it is a place where books live, and where you can get in touch with other people, and other thoughts, through books. If you want to find out about something, the information is in the reference books---the dictionaries, the encyclopedias, the atlases. If you like to be told a story, the library is the place to go.

There are 20,000 million books I could have to read, but I can pick the ones and know that I'm learning something that I didn't know before. That's the glory of writing. It's not even so much the writing, it's what you learn - especially history - because so much of it is research.

The person who wins the Nobel Prize is not the person who read the most journal articles and took the most notes on them. It's the person who knew what to look for. And cultivating that capacity to seek what's significant, always willing to question whether you're on the right track - that's what education is going to be about, whether it's using computers and the Internet, or pencil and paper, or books.

If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.

A book is valuable not only for what it says but for what it makes you think, or causes you to remember. No matter what you wish to do or become there are books to teach you, help you, guide you.

Books are the money of Literature, but only the counters of Science.

I'm big on research. I love research, so I tend to do a lot of reading.

Learn as much by writing as by reading.

People who don't read seem to me mysterious. I don't know how they think or learn about other people. Novels are a very important part of our education.

Read every book, blog, website, whatever, about what you want to be an expert in.

All my knowledge comes from research.

Read as much as you can, and then sit down and write.

One can't write without having read - you have to read before beginning to write - and universities offer a very good opportunity to read.

After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.

Education is gathering information and reading... No human being can thrive without some form of education. How you get it is up to you - the important thing is that you get it.

The more one reads, the more one sees that one has to read.

A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems... It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the unsolved ones.

Educate yourself: Read up on current events and books.

I kind of do all of this writing as a way of thinking and learning. I'm sure it's similar to being a journalist: You get to learn, and that's the greatest kind of job.
