Oscar Wilde
“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Tiffany King
“There is nothing like the smell of books, both new and old. If someone ever bottled the smell, I would be all over it .”
Tiffany King, Meant to Be

Sherman Alexie
“I grabbed my book and opened it up.

I wanted to smell it.

Heck, I wanted to kiss it.

Yes, kiss it.

That's right, I am a book kisser.

Maybe that's kind of perverted or maybe it's just romantic and highly intelligent.
Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

Arnold Bennett
“Nearly all bookish people are snobs, and especially the more enlightened among them. They are apt to assume that if a writer has immense circulation, if he is enjoyed by plain persons, and if he can fill several theatres at once, he cannont possibly be worth reading and merits only indifference and disdain.”
Arnold Bennett

Eudora Welty
“I learned from the age of two or three that any room in our house, at any time of day, was there to read in, or be read to.”
Eudora Welty
