“You know, said the Reader, life is often like that. Sometimes there is kissing and sometimes the kissing stops. The only difference between a novel with a happy ending and one without is the point at which you cease to tell the story.”

“I needed comfort now. I needed hope. Hope that when life turns on you for the worst, it will turn back again, for the good.”

“Reading a lot doesn’t make you an intellectual, any more than eating a lot makes you a gourmet. I’m an egotist, reading purely for my own pleasure, out of love for good stories, not to learn something about the world.”

“You see, there is no book that can please everyone. And if there were, it would be a bad book. You can’t be everyone’s friend, because everyone is different. You’d have to be completely lacking in personality, no rough edges or sharp corners. But even then, many people wouldn’t like you, because they need rough edges and sharp corners. … Every person needs different books. Because what one person loves with all their heart, might leave another completely cold.”
