“We have no time to waste on insignificant books, hollow books, books that are there to please...

We want books that cost their authors a great deal, books where you can feel the years of work, the backache, the writer's block, the author's panic at the thought that he might be lost: his discouragement, his courage, his anguish, his stubbornness, the risk of failure that he has taken.”
― Laurence Cossé, A Novel Bookstore

“The only way to do all the things you'd like to do is to read”
― Tom Clancy

“It’s a luxury to be the owner of one’s time. I think it’s one of the greatest luxuries human beings can afford themselves.”
― Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

“You are what what you eat eats.”
― Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
