“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“What a blessing it is to love books.”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, The Solitary Summer

― Marion Zimmer Bradley, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Ancestors of Avalon

“I am Emma Woodhouse. I feel for her, of her and in her. I have a different sort of snobbism, but I understand her snobbism. Her priggishness. I admire it. I know she does wrong things, she tries to organize other people's lives, she can't see Mr Knightley is a man in a million. She's temporarily silly, yet all the time one knows she's basically intelligent. Creative, determined to set the highest standards. A real human being.”
― John Fowles, The Collector
