Gabrielle Zevin
“Sometimes books don’t find us until the right time.”
Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

A.S. Byatt
“Part of her wanted simply to sit and stare out of the window, at the lawn, flaky with sodden leaves, and the branches with yellow leaves, or few, or none, she thought, taking pleasure at least in Shakespeare’s rhythm, but also feeling old. She took pleasure, too, in the inert solidity of glass panes and polished furniture and rows of ordered books around her, and the magic trees of life woven in glowing colours on the rugs at her feet.”
A.S. Byatt, The Children's Book

Gabrielle Zevin
“Turns out I really like bookstores. You know, I meet a lot of people in my line of work. A lot of folks pass through Alice Island, especially in the summer. I've seen movie people on vacation and I've seen music people and newspeople, too. There ain't nobody in the world like book people. It's a business of gentlemen and gentlewoman.”
Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Washington Irving
“There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare, and seek some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries and build our air castles undisturbed.”
Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories

L.M. Montgomery
“It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.”
Lucy Maud Montgomery, Rainbow Valley
