Through books Cathy and I have lived a zillion lives . . . our vicarious way
to feel alive.

We haven't remained idle, twiddling our thumbs while you were off having a good time. Through books Cathy and I have lived a zillion lives . . . our vicarious way to feel alive.

Once you read a classic, you will start loving even the smell of the books.

I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours.

We lose ourselves in what we read, only to return to ourselves, transformed and part of a more expansive world.

The most comfortable place for a tired mind is in the lap of a book.
