“I never spoke — unless addressed —
And then, 'twas brief and low —

How noteless — I could die —”
― Emily Dickinson, Selected Poems

“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
― Nora Ephron
