Nnedi Okorafor
“I love books . I adore everything about them. I love the feel of the pages on my fingertips. They are light enough to carry, yet so heavy with worlds and ideas . I love the sound of the pages flicking against my fingers. Print against fingerprints. Books make people quiet, yet they are so loud”
Nnedi Okorafor, The Book of Phoenix

Donna Tartt
“It's commonplace to say that we 'love' a book, but when we say it, we mean all sorts of things. Sometimes we mean that a book was important to us in out youth, though we haven't picked it up in years; sometimes what we 'love' is an impressionistic idea glimpsed from afar (Combray...madeleins...Tante Leonie...) as apposed to the experience of wallowing and plowing through an actual text, and all too often people claim to love books they haven't read at all. Then there are books we love so much that we read every year or two, and know passages of them by heart; that cheer us up when we are sick or sad and never fail to amuse us when we take them up at random; that we pass on to all our friends and acquaintances; and to which we return again and again with undimmed enthusiasm over the course of a lifetime. I think it goes without saying ghat most books that engage readers on this very high levels are masterpieces; and this is why I believe that True Grit by Charles Portis is a masterpiece.”
Donna Tartt, True Grit

Jane Austen
“Far be it from me, my dear sister, to depreciate such pleasures. They would doubtless be congenial with the generality of female minds. But I confess they would have no charms for me. I should infinitely prefer a book. - Mary”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

George R.R. Martin
“The maester had loved books as much as Samwell Tarly did. He understood the way that you could fall right into them, as if each page was a hole into another world.”
G.R.R. Martin

Kelseyleigh Reber
“Later that night though, as I stayed awake into the early hours of morning devouring the second novel in a series, I understood what it meant to befriend a book. The books knew me, far better than I knew them; they knew my fears, my doubts, my dreams. They gave words to feelings I did not even realize I experienced. They listened. They consoled. They kept me company. The books gave me a life outside of my own.”
Kelseyleigh Reber, If I Resist

“He sat across from me, his face as happy as a child awaiting a treat. “I cannot wait. It’s been here for weeks and I’ve stared at it as one would a sweetheart.”

I laughed again. “Books might be better than a sweetheart. They never let us down, do they?”
Tess Thompson, A Match for a Bookish Bride

Carew Papritz
“Why read? Because books are precious guides to our humanity—civilization’s backbone—that tenuous ridgeline that allows us to climb above the jungle and see what the horizon has to offer. Thus they represent the yearning to go beyond, to explore. Yet they are also human-sized . . .”
Carew Papritz, The Legacy Letters: his Wife, his Children, his Final Gift

Shivi Goyal

“Books...between those covers, you'll find people, their stories. Within each book lies a heart that begins to beat when someone reads it, because it makes a connection with the reader.”
