Zadie Smith
“If religion is the opiate of the people, tradition is an even more sinister analgesic, simply because it rarely appears sinister. If religion is a tight band, a throbbing vein, and a needle, tradition is a far homelier concoction: poppy seeds ground into tea; a sweet cocoa drink laced with cocaine; the kind of thing your grandmother might have made.”
Zadie Smith, White Teeth

“Единственото, което имахме в изобилие, бяха книгите. Те бяха навсякъде: от пода до тавана, в коридора, в кухнята, във входното антре, по первазите на прозорците. Хиляди книги, изпълнили всяко кътче в апартамента. Имах чувството, че хората идват и си отиват, раждат се и умират, но книгите са вечни. Като малък мечатех да стана книга. Не писател- хората мряха като мухи, писателите не правеха изключение. Но не и книгите. Колкото и систематично да ги изтребваш, винаги има вероятност някой екземпляр да оцелее и да продължи да се наслаждава на живота от някоя лавица в ъгъла на забравена от Бога библиотека в Рейкявик, Валядолид или Ванкувър".”
Амос Оз

“If you`re wondering how you`ll find time, it means you don`t really want to read. Because nobody`s ever got time. Children certainly haven`t, nor have teenagers or grown-ups. Life always gets in the way. <...>
Time to read is always time stolen. <...>
Stolen from what?
From the tyranny of living.”- p.125”
Daniel Pennac

Michael Cunningham
“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
Michael Cunningham, The Hours

Daniel Pennac
“We keep quiet about what we read. Our enjoyment of a book remains a jealously guarded secret. Perhaps because there`s no need to talk, or because it takes time to distill what we've read before we can say anything. Silence is our guarantee of intimacy. We might have finished reading but we`re still living
the book.”
Daniel Pennac
