“I'm always amazed at friends who say they try to read at night in bed but always end up falling asleep. I have the opposite problem. If a book is good I can't go to sleep, and stay up way past my bedtime, hooked on the writing.

― John Waters, Role Models

“If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em! Don’t sleep with people who don’t read!”
― John Waters

“Not his real name, darling, but my own name for him. I never thought it could be like this. I never thought one could be so close, and yet so different to a single human being. He is everything I've never been, and yet I love him more than any person or anything I've ever known.”
― Rosamunde Pilcher, Winter Solstice

“It was better not to get too close to another person. The closer you got, the more likely you were to get hurt.”
― Rosamunde Pilcher, Winter Solstice
