Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Philip K. Dick
“It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.”
Philip K. Dick, Valis

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.”
James Michener
