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

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

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

---

If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.

---

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

---

Have books ‘happened’ to you? Unless your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ I’m unsure how to talk to you.
