shivered into meaning.
Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets;
At that moment, whole universes opened.
You became, irrevocably, a reader.
– Alberto Manguel

thinker is a ship of thought,
deep freighted with truth and beauty.

They are home.

Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily,
often helplessly, into another’s skin,
another’s voice, another’s soul.

Reading is everything.
Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something,
learned something, become a better person.
Reading makes me smarter.
Reading gives me something to talk about later on…
Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.
– Nora Ephron



I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
