“She rubbed a hand over her heart. It was like reading a book, she decided. You read the book and the words became scenes, the characters became people and they lived inside you. She had dreamed of Sol, she had read his stories, and it had opened up a space inside her, where he could exist.”
― Antonia Hodgson, The Raven Scholar

“FEAR stands for fuck everything and run.”
― Stephen King, Doctor Sleep

“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”
― Ursula K. LeGuin

“A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.”
― Mark Twain
