“The best word shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words. They were the ones who could climb the highest. One such word shaker was a small, skinny girl. She was renowned as the best word shaker of her region because she knew how powerless a person could be WITHOUT words.”

― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

“There's nothing like a printed book; the weight, the woody scent, the feel, the look.”
