“Batman doesn't have any superpowers. He's not superhuman. He's not super. So therefore he can't be a superhero.”
― Craig Silvey, Jasper Jones

“Stupid people should never read books.”
― Andrew Smith, Grasshopper Jungle

“I read because one life isn't enough, and in the page of a book I can be anybody;
I read because the words that build the story become mine, to build my life;
I read not for happy endings but for new beginnings; I'm just beginning myself, and I wouldn't mind a map;
I read because I have friends who don't, and young though they are, they're beginning to run out of material;
I read because every journey begins at the library, and it's time for me to start packing;
I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town, and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everybody, and I want to be ready.”
― Richard Peck, Anonymously Yours

“Hands are for other human hands to hold.”
