“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“That's the power of literature, you know, it can act like little love letters between two people who can only explain their feelings by pointing at other people's.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“You can never visit the same place twice. Each time, it's a different story. By the very act of coming back, you wipe out what came before.”
― Maureen Johnson, The Last Little Blue Envelope

“You forget what it was like. You'd swear on your life you never will, but year by year it falls away. How your temperature ran off the mercury, your heart galloped flat-out and never needed to rest, everything was pitched on the edge of shattering glass. How wanting something was like dying of thirst. How your skin was too fine to keep out any of the million things flooding by; every color boiled bright enough to scald you, any second of any day could send you soaring or rip you to bloody shreds.”
― Tana French, The Secret Place
