Francis Spufford
“I can always tell when you're reading somewhere in the house,' my mother used to say. 'There's a special silence, a reading silence.”
Francis Spufford, The Child That Books Built: A Life in Reading

Robert A. Heinlein
“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
Robert A. Heinlein

Francis Spufford
“If your memory was OK you could descend upon on a bookshop – a big enough one so that the staff wouldn’t hassle a browser – and steal the contents of books by reading them. I drank down 1984 while loitering in the 'O' section of the giant Heffers store in Cambridge. When I was full I carried the slopping vessel of my attention carefully out of the shop.”
Francis Spufford, The Child That Books Built: A Life in Reading

Rita Mae Brown
“When I got [my] library card, that was when my life began.”
Rita Mae Brown

Anna Quindlen
“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”
Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life
