Kate Reads

“Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read; and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”
― John Williams, Stoner

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
― Joan Didion, The White Album

“but that was the beauty of books, wasn’t it? They took you places you didn’t know you needed to go.”
― Erica Bauermeister, No Two Persons
