“I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in. As I walked, my mind was busy fitting what I saw with appropriate words; when I sat by the roadside, I would either read or a pencil and a penny version-book would be in my hand, to note the features of the scene or commemorate some halting stanzas. Thus I lived with words.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson, Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”
