“History is a silent record of people who could not leave, it is a record of those who did not have a choice, you cannot leave when you have nowhere to go and have not the means to go there, you cannot leave when your children cannot get a passport, cannot go when your feet are rooted in the earth and to leave means tearing off your feet.”
― Paul Lynch, Prophet Song

“When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you've got two new people.”
― John Steinbeck

“I guess there are never enough books.”
― John Steinbeck, A John Steinbeck Encyclopedia

“I'm absolutely removed from the world at such times...The hours go by without my knowing it. Sitting there I'm wandering in countries I can see every detail of - I'm playing a role in the story I'm reading. I actually feel I'm the characters - I live and breath with them.”
― Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
