Sōsuke Natsukawa
“A book that sits on a shelf is nothing but a bundle of paper. Unless it is opened, a book possessing great power or an epic story is mere scraps of paper. But a book that has been cherished and loved, filled with human thoughts, has been endowed with a soul.”
Sōsuke Natsukawa, The Cat Who Saved Books

“Reading too many books makes you believe in magic”
Anon.

Tom Wolfe
“Five years ago was before Walkman earphones. They can’t imagine that.”
Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities

Chris van Tulleken
“It’s not food. It’s an industrially produced edible substance.”
Chris van Tulleken, Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn't Food… and Why Can't We Stop?

Barbara  Davis
“In the happiest times of my life, I have reached for my books. In the saddest times of my life, my books have reached back.”
Barbara Davis, The Echo of Old Books
