“It seems to me... that love is the most important thing in the world. It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain it and despise it.

― Anthony Horowitz, Magpie Murders

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

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
