Garrison Keillor
“One reads books in order to gain the privilege of living more than one life....”
Garrison Keillor

Robert Macfarlane
“We are often more tender to the dead than to the living, though it is the living who need our tenderness most.”
Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey

Lauren Wolk
“But the wind always swept my words away like cloud shadows, as if it mattered more that I said them, than who heard them.”
Lauren Wolk, Wolf Hollow

“The more that is taken away, the more clearly will thou see what is left behind. It is true of Magnus sleeping there in his disguise of fiery fur, and it is true of worldly possessions, and it is true of the human heart.”
Sara Donati, Lake in the Clouds

André Brink
“My library was -- all libraries are -- a place of ultimate refuge, a wild and sacred space where meanings are manageable precisely because they aren't binding; and where illusion is comfortingly real.”
André Brink
