“Books you've read are like old friends. You look up and you see a title that you've read and had pleasure from and it makes you feel very comfortable.
~Robert A.M. Stern, Architect”
Estelle Ellis, At Home with Books: How Booklovers Live with and Care for Their Libraries

“I think perhaps people have too limited a view of where they can put books. They believe they have to be in a room specified as 'the library.' I think books can be anywhere in a house. Piles of books in corners do not offend me. Putting books in the dining room is a wonderful idea. My idea of heaven would be to dine, as well as to sleep, surrounded by books.
~Robert A.M. Stern, Architect”

“The interesting thing about the feeling of loss when a book is borrowed is that the book's quality rarely matters. So mysterious is the power of books in our lives that every loss is a serious loss, every hole in the shelf a crater. Our books are ourselves, our characters, our insulation against those very people who would take away our books. Someone should invent markers for bookcases to note 'missing persons.'
~Roger Rosenblatt, Writer”
