“We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.”
Arthur O'Shaughnessy, Poems of Arthur O'Shaughnessy

Dodie Smith
“When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it - or rather, it is like living it. It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don't suppose many people try to do it.”
Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle

Cynthia Hand
“Nice tree," he says.
That boy has unexpected depth.”
Cynthia Hand, Unearthly

Anne Lamott
“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Oscar Wilde
“With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?”
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
