“I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.”
― Jean Cocteau

“Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.”
― Ezra Pound

“Your house, being the place in which you read, can tell us the position books occupy in your life, if they are a defense you set up to keep the outside world at a distance, if they are a dream into which you sink as if into a drug, or bridges you cast toward the outside, toward the world that interests you so much that you want to multiply and extend its dimensions through books.”
― Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

“Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.”
― John Keats
