Lovely idea, Emilee. I'll go find my favourite quote..

Personally, I adore this quote. It's so true...

Art is the ability to tell the truth, especially about oneself. By Richard Prior

"Outside of a dog, a book is a mans best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." ~Groucho Marx

I don't know who wrote this but it made me laugh:

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

“She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.” ~ Louisa May Alcott”

And to this I say: YES! SO WHAT?

When we read a story, we inhabit it.
The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls.
What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story.
And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.
~ John Berger ~
