At one magical instant the page of a book –
that string of confused, alien ciphers –
shivered into meaning.
Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets;
At that moment, whole universes opened.
You became, irrevocably, a reader.
– Alberto Manguel

We read to know we’re not alone.
– C.S. Lewis
A great book that comes from a great
thinker is a ship of thought,
deep freighted with truth and beauty.
– Pablo Neruda
Books are the plane, and the train, and the road.
They are the destination and the journey.
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.
– Joyce Carol Oates
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.
– Jorge Luis Borges
