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

---

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

---

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

---

The mirror never lies, but it doesn’t tell the whole story either.

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

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