“When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.”
― Tuli Kupferberg

“Books are reason to get up in the morning.”
― Nina Sankovitch

“I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.”
― George Gissing

“Books. The more I thought about how to stop and get myself back together as one sane, whole person, the more I thought about books. I thought about escape. Not running to escape but reading to escape. Cyril Connolly, twentieth-century writer and critic, wrote that “words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living.” That was how I wanted to use books: as an escape back to life. I wanted to engulf myself in books and come up whole again.”
― Nina Sankovitch, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading
