Pamela Dean
“Look," said Janet, irritated, "if the thing you liked best to do in the world was read, and somebody offered to pay you room and board and give you a liberal arts degree if you would just read for four years, wouldn't you do it?”
Pamela Dean, Tam Lin

Charles Lamb

Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance

Jo Walton
“If you love books enough, books will love you back.”
Jo Walton, Among Others

Thomas Jefferson
