I was a voracious reader, but you would be mistaken if you took that as evidence of my quality.
Mordecai Richler

Well … I've always been a voracious reader — I have read the economic views of von Mises and Hayek, and … Bastiat … I know about Cobden and Bright in England — and the elimination of the corn laws and so forth, the great burst of economy or prosperity for England that followed.
Friedrich Hayek
Reading is an active and elusive experience. Every reader, reading exactly the same text, will have a slightly different reading experience depending on what s/he projects into the words s/he sees, what strings of meaning and association those words call up in his/her (always) private mind. One can never therefore, talk about the quality of a book separately from the quality of the mind that is creating it by reading it, in the only place books live, in the secret mind.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Never explain- your reader is as smart as you. Your reader is not just any reader, but is the rare one with ears in his head.
Basil Bunting
Most writers have no other quality than the reader: taste. But the latter has the better taste, because he does not write - and the best if he does not read.
Karl Kraus
In Europe and in America, people are now more interested in the cost of quality and in systems of quality-audit. But in Japan, we are keeping very strong interest to improve quality by use of methods which you started....when we improve quality we also improve productivity, just as you told us in 1950 would happen.
