Nan Shepherd
“Books work from the inside out. They are a private conversation happening somewhere in the soul.”
Nan Shepherd, The Living Mountain: A Celebration of the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland

Elif Shafak
“Because in real life, unlike in history books, stories come to us not in their entirety but in bits and pieces, broken segments and partial echoes, a full sentence here, a fragment there, a clue hidden in between. in life, unlike in books, we have to weave our stories out of threads as fine as the gossamer veins that run through a butterfly's wings.”
Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees

Emily St. John Mandel
“It is possible to leave so much out of any given story.”
Emily St. John Mandel, The Glass Hotel

Paulette Jiles
“Maybe life is just carrying news. Surviving to carry the news. Maybe we have just one message, and it is delivered to us when we are born and we are never sure what it says; it may have nothing to do with us personally but it must be carried by hand through a life, all the way, and at the end handed over, sealed.”
Paulette Jiles, News of the World

T.S. Eliot
“The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man.”
T.S. Eliot
