I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.

A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.

---

Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you.

---

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

---

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.

---

Some books leave us free and some books make us free.

---

Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.

---

Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.

---

Books are the mirrors of the soul.

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.
