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

---

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

---

I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived.

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

The journey isn’t always forward; sometimes it pulls you inward.

---

To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
