― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
― Stephen King
