“In a word, literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourse of my book-friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness. The things I have learned and the things I have been taught seem of ridiculously little importance compared with their "large loves and heavenly charities.”
― Helen Keller, The Story of My Life

“Either grant me the bliss of the ignorant or give me the strength to bear the knowledge.”
― Elif Shafak, The Bastard of Istanbul

“The world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
― Nora Ephron
