“Libraries are safe but also exciting. Libraries are where nerds like me go to refuel. They are safe-havens where the polluted noise of the outside world, with all the bullies and bro-dudes and anti-feminist rhetoric, is shut out. Libraries have zero tolerance for bullshit. Their walls protect us and keep us safe from all the bastards that have never read a book for fun.”
― Gabby Rivera

“The sound of the pages turning was the sound of magic. The dry liquid feel of paper under fingertips was what magic felt like.”
― Emma Donoghue, Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins

“It’s great to remember that reading is my first love.”
― Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays

“Reading would make me brilliant, but writing would make me infinite.”
― Gabby Rivera, Juliet Takes a Breath
