Quotes by Paula Marantz Cohen (?)

“He doesn't understand that books don't get used up. I've tried to explain that they aren't like clothes or furniture - that we keep them because we might want to read them again. And because they remind us of how we felt when we read them.”
― Paula Marantz Cohen from "Jane Austen in Scarsdale"
