Help: Need Great "Reading" quote for scrapbook

[Alicia64]

I have several pictures of my boys reading together. They're so cute. One photo shows one son in a bucket reading, with the other son reading over his shoulder.

 

I've put all of the photos of them reading onto one page and would love to put a quote to it, but can't find one.

 

Any great ideas?

 

Thanks!!!!!!!

Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-room

piled high with cases in my father’s name;

Piled high, packed large, -- where, creeping in and out

among the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mouse

between the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there

at this or that box, pulling through the gap, in heats

of terror, haste, victorious joy, the first book first.

And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark.

An hour before the sun would let me read!

My books!

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~

 

You may have tangible wealth untold;

I don't have the exact quote or remember who to credit for it, but since you said one of them is sitting in a bucket it might be cute to use: Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire.
