A book is a gift you can open again and again.

---

Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.

---

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. ―Rumi

---

Have books ‘happened’ to you? Unless your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ I’m unsure how to talk to you.

---

Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.

---

I can survive well enough on my own – if given the proper reading material.

---

If a book is well written, I always find it too short.

---

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.

---

To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.

---

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.
