“Take it from me, Fate doesn't care most of the time.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, Castle in the Air

“Books can be possessive, can't they? You're walking around in a bookstore and a certain one will jump out at you, like it had moved there on its own, just to get your attention. Sometimes what's inside will change your life, but sometimes you don't even have to read it. Sometimes it's a comfort just to have a book around. Many of these books haven't even had their spines cracked. 'Why do you buy books you don't even read?' our daughter asks us. That's like asking someone who lives alone why they bought a cat. For company, of course.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen

“I think we ought to live happily ever after.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle

“Reading one book is like eating one potato chip.”
― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard
