Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

If a book is well written, I always find it too short.

---

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

---

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.

---

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

---

A good would take me out of myself and then stuff me back in, outsized, now, and uneasy with the fit.

---

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

---

I can survive well enough on my own – if given the proper reading material.

---

Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.
