“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.

― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

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

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
