“A book that sits on a shelf is nothing but a bundle of paper. Unless it is opened, a book possessing great power or an epic story is mere scraps of paper. But a book that has been cherished and loved, filled with human thoughts, has been endowed with a soul.”
― Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books

“Books have tremendous power. But take care. It’s the book that holds the power, not you.”
― Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books

“I think the power of books is that—that they teach us to care about others. It’s a power that gives people courage and also supports them in turn.”
― Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books

“It’s not true that the more you read, the more you see of the world. No matter how much knowledge you cram into your head, unless you think with your own mind, walk with your own feet, the knowledge you acquire will never be anything more than empty and borrowed.”
― Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books
