"When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it - or rather, it is like living it. It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don't suppose many people try to do it." 

~ Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle


"I go back to the reading room, where I sink down in the sofa and into the world of The Arabian Nights. Slowly, like a movie fadeout, the real world evaporates. I'm alone, inside the world of the story. My favourite feeling in the world." 

~ Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore


"If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. "

~Toni Morrison


"Reading and writing are mutual friends, if you don't read then you can't write."
