Being A Reader Quotes

“I was impressed for the ten thousandth time by the fact that literature illuminates life only for those to whom books are a necessity. Books are unconvertible assets, to be passed on only to those who possess them already.”

― A.J. Flowers, A Guide to Writing Your First Novel
