“Books took me to places I could never go otherwise. They shared the confessions of people I'd never met and lives I'd never witnessed. The emotions I could never feel, and the events I hadn't experienced could all be found in those volumes.”
― Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

“আশ্চর্য মানুষের মন। সে যে কখন কি চায় তা নিজেও বলতে পারে না। কিসে তার সুখ আর কিসে তার অসুখ এর সত্যিকার জবাব সে নিজেও দিতে পারে না কোনদিন।”
― Zahir Raihan, শেষ বিকেলের মেয়ে

“What does love mean?” Mom asked mischievously. “To discover beauty.”

“But books were different. They had lots of blanks. Blanks between words and even between lines. I could squeeze myself in there and sit, or walk, or scribble down my thoughts. It didn’t matter if I had no idea what the words meant. Turning the pages was half the battle.”
