“Words are like birds, when you publish books you are setting caged birds free. They can go wherever they please. They can fly over the highest walls and across vast distances, settling in mansions of gentry, in farmsteads and laborers' cottages alike. You never know whom those words will reach, whose hearts will succumb to their sweet songs.”
― Elif Shafak, There Are Rivers in the Sky

“Books bring colour to my simple life and if I have a book in my hands, it feels like I'm always connected with the world. Whether I'm bored, lonely, upset, depressed, books soothe me and everything feels all right again.”

“The moment we welcome books into ourselves, we're bravely opening the door to our hearts. We confess our loneliness, our weaknesses, uncertainties and worries at the same time we open up about the values and worldviews that each of us holds close to our hearts. The doorway to self-reflection that's hidden inside us opens, and we grow to become a person who understands introspection.”

“I am the first and the last, I am the honored and the mocked, I am the whore and the Holy One, the wife and the virgin, the mother and the daughter. I am a barren woman with many children. I am the silence that is incomprehensible. I am the voice whose sounds are many. I am wisdom and ignorance. I am shy and proud. I am disgraced and I am great. I am compassionate and cruel. I am witness and wise. You who deny me know me.”
― Nikki Marmery
