“The world was hers for the reading.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“Reading one book is like eating one potato chip.”
― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.”
― Cornelia Funke, Inkspell

“People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.”
― Saul Bellow
