Madeline  Martin
“Reading is...” His brows knit together and then his forehead smoothed as the right words appeared to dawn on him. “It’s going somewhere without ever taking a train or ship, an unveiling of new, incredible worlds. It’s living a life you weren’t born into and a chance to see everything colored by someone else’s perspective. It’s learning without having to face consequences of failures, and how best to succeed.” He hesitated. “I think within all of us, there is a void, a gap waiting to be filled by something. For me, that something is books and all their proffered experiences.”
Madeline Martin, The Last Bookshop in London

Michelle Zauner
“Over time our conversations became a lot like explaining a movie to someone who has walked in on the last thirty minutes.”
Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart

“There was a joy of life in him and a kind of tenderness untainted by the merely gentle.” When I read that line, written by James Salter, many years later, I thought of Glenn.”
William Finnegan, Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life

Virginia Woolf
“For once the disease of reading has laid upon the system it weakens it so that it falls an easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the inkpot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing.”
Virginia Woolf, Orlando

E.L. Doctorow
“A story on the page is like a printed circuit for our lives to flow through, A story told invokes our dim capacity to be alive in bodies not our own. You would want the whole planet in voice and the totality of intimate human narrations composing a hymn to enlightenment if that were possible. In”
E.L. Doctorow, City of God: A Novel
