I Wanted To Live Among Books.

My Books Hold Between Their Covers Every Story I've Ever Known And Still Remember, Or Have Now Forgotten, Or May One Day Read; They Fill The Space Around Me With Ancient And New Voices.

A Society Can Exist - Many Do Exist - Without Writing, But No Society Can Exist Without Reading.

In The Light, We Read The Inventions Of Others; In The Darkness We Invent Our Own Stories.

Reading Is The Occupation Of The Insomniac Par Excellence.

The Association Of Books With Their Readers Is Unlike Any Other Between Objects And Their Users.
