"I read books because I love them, not because I think I should read them."

"Books were safer than other people anyway." -Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

"Books are magical keys to open up worlds and change perspectives."

"Cram your head with characters and stories. Abuse your library privileges. Never stop looking at the world, and never stop reading to find out what sense other people have made of it. If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you're working. Tell them it's research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone." - Jennifer Weiner

"When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, "Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading." - Virginia Woolf
