“Reading is sometimes thought of as a form of escapism, and it’s a common turn of phrase to speak of getting lost in a book. But a book can also be where one finds oneself; and when a reader is grasped and held by a book, reading does not feel like an escape from life so much as it feels like an urgent, crucial dimension of life itself.”
― Rebecca Mead, My Life in Middlemarch

“I was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone—
I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“I think you're still the only person sharp enough to sharpen someone like me.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess
