Patricia A. McKillip
“The odd thing about people who had many books was how they always wanted more.”
Patricia A. McKillip, The Bell at Sealey Head

Aidan Chambers
“Few pleasures, for the true reader, rival the pleasure of browsing unhurriedly among books: old books, new books, library books, other people's books, one's own books - it does not matter whose or where. Simply to be among books, glancing at one here, reading a page from one over there, enjoying them all as objects to be touched, looked at, even smelt, is a deep satisfaction. And often, very often, while browsing haphazardly, looking for nothing in particular, you pick up a volume that suddenly excites you, and you know that this one of all the others you must read. Those are great moments - and the books we come across like that are often the most memorable.”
Aidan Chambers

David Levithan
“I want my own books to have their own shelves," you said, and that's how I knew it would be okay to live together.”
David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary

Muriel Spark
“Allow me, in conclusion, to congratulate you warmly upon your sexual intercourse, as well as your singing.”
Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

Julian Barnes
“When you read a great book, you don’t escape from life, you plunge deeper into it. There may be a superficial escape – into different countries, mores, speech patterns – but what you are essentially doing is furthering your understanding of life’s subtleties, paradoxes, joys, pains and truths. Reading and life are not separate but symbiotic.”
Julian Barnes, A Life with Books
