Anthony Doerr
“But books, like people, die. They die in fires or floods or in the mouths of worms or at the whims of tyrants. If they are not safeguarded, they go out of the world. And when a book goes out of the world, the memory dies a second death.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony Doerr
“The world as it is is enough.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Erin Morgenstern
“Reading a book four times in one day is perfectly normal behavior.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Erin Morgenstern
“Not all stories speak to all listeners, but all listeners can find a story that does, somewhere, sometime. In one form or another.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Anthony Doerr
“He should have risked more. It has taken him his whole life to accept himself, and he is surprised to understand that now that he can, he does not long for one more year, one more month: eighty-six years has been enough. In a life you accumulate so many memories, your brain constantly winnowing through them, weighing consequence, burying pain, but somehow by the time you’re this age you still end up dragging a monumental sack of memories behind you, a burden as heavy as a continent, and eventually it becomes time to take them out of the world.”
Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land
