“Books were a safe place, a world apart from my own.”
― Kiera Cass , The Siren

“Books became my closest confidants, finely ground lenses providing new views of the world.”
― Paul Kalanithi

“I devoured the books because they were the rays of light peeking out from the doorframe, and perhaps past that door there was another world,”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

“If I ever needed to pick a place to hide, I would seek refuge inside a book. There's something about the musty smell emanating from the yellowed pages and the perfect alignment of printed words that appeases me. It is orderly, in massive contrast with my out-of-control life.”
― Astrid Arditi, Olympian Challenger
