“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“We read to know we're not alone.”
― William Nicholson, Shadowlands: A Play

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
