“The world was hers for the reading.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”
― Alan Bennett, The History Boys

“They are all alike you know. They hold their tongues for years and you think you're safe, but when the opportunity comes they remember everything.”
― Edith Wharton

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”
― Oscar Wilde
