“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

“We read to know we're not alone.”
― William Nicholson, Shadowlands: A Play

“Once you’ve read too many trashy best-sellers, you begin to look for something with substance, something that attempts to define the universe.”
― Jessica Zafra, Womenagerie and Other Tales from the Front
