Quotes by Jamie S. Rich (?)

“He says he knows someone isn't from the same race as he when that person looks at his library and asks, 'Have you read all of these?' A true book lover knows that, no, he hasn't read them all. It's about the process, it's about when the right reference comes up, you have the right book to go to; it's about never being without something to occupy your eyes and mind.”
― Jamie S. Rich, The Everlasting

“There's time enough, though. Time enough to learn everything about one another. That's the adventure. And the longer it takes just means we'll never get bored.”
