Kate Morton
“A girl expecting rescue never learns to save herself. Even with the means, she will find her courage wanting.”
Kate Morton , The Forgotten Garden

Anna Quindlen
“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”
Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life

“those of us who read because we love it more than anything, who feel about bookstores the way some people feel about jewelers...”
Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life

Anna Quindlen
“In books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might aspire to, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself. More powerfully and persuasively than from the "shalt nots" of the Ten Commandments, I learned the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. A Wrinkle in Time described that evil, that wrong, existing in a different dimension from our own. But I felt that I, too, existed much of the time in a different dimension from everyone else I knew. There was waking, and there was sleeping. And then there were books, a kind of parallel universe in which anything might happen and frequently did, a universe in which I might be a newcomer but was never really a stranger. My real, true world. My perfect island.”
Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life

Anna Quindlen
“the joy of someone who had been a reader all her life, whose world had been immeasurably enlarged by the words of others.”
Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life
