“Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agised as in that hour left my lips: for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love.”
― Charlotte Brontë , Jane Eyre

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.”
