“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“My life burned inside me. Even such as it was, it was the only record of me, and it was my only creation, and something in me would not accept that it was insignificant.”
― Nuala O'Faolain, Are You Somebody?: The Accidental Memoir of a Dublin Woman

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa
