“—Isn’t this how it starts? You have a cause you believe in, a cause worth dying for. Soon, it’s a cause worth killing for. Soon, it’s a cause worth killing innocent people for.”
― Tom Rob Smith, Child 44

“I have no feelings of guilt regarding the books I have not read and perhaps will never read; I know that my books have unlimited patience. They will wait for me till the end of my days.”

“We can imagine the books we'd like to read, even if they have not yet been written, and we can imagine libraries full of books we would like to possess, even if they are well beyond our reach, because we enjoy dreaming up a library that reflects every one of our interests and every one of our foibles--a library that, in its variety and complexity, fully reflects the reader we are.”

“نحن نعرف لماذا نقرأ حتى عندما لا نعرف كيف نقرأ
في الوقت نفسه نحتفظ بالعالم الظاهري للنص ونتمسك بفعل القراءة
إننا نقرأ لأننا نريد العثور على النهاية
فقط لأننا نريد مواصلة القراءة
نحن نقرأ كالكشافة الذين يقتفون الخطى ناسين كل ما هو حولهم من أشياء
نقرأ شاردي الذهن متجاوزين بعض الصفحات
نقرأ باحتقار ، بإعجاب ، بملل ،بانزعاج ، بحماس وبشوق
في بعض الأحيان تعترينا فرحة غامرة مفاجئة دون أن ندري ما هو السبب”
― Alberto Manguel
