"I have lived a thousand lives and I have loved a thousand loves. I've walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. All because I read."

“He was beastly tired, but it was hard to stop. One more book, he had told himself, then I'll stop. One more folio, just one more. One more page, then I'll go up and rest and get a bite to eat. But there was always another page after that one, and another after that, and another book waiting underneath the pile. I'll just take a quick peek to see what this one is about, he'd think, and before he knew he would be halfway through it.”― George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows

He always seemed to know what people wanted from him, when to be the laughing boy, the golden prince, the weary soldier.

"Camp does not ask permission. It marches to the beat of its own drum. You are king — or queen — of this particular stretch of sidewalk, simply because you woke up this morning and decided that it should be so. In such walks we spy resistance, defiance, joy. It is a miraculous matter that some people should be able to telegraph all these things simply by waking. It is as if, having realized that invisibility is not a viable option, they choose to do something practical with their constant audience. You looking at me? Well now, let me give you something to see!"

— Zadie Smith, from the essay 'Mark Bradford's Niagara' in her collection 'Feel Free'

"Augustine held that nature itself was a continuing miracle. The miracle that Jesus performed in turning water into wine was no greater than the yearly miracle that turned water from the clouds to wine when rain fell upon vineyards."

[mybibliophileheart]

I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.

-Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me (#book1)

[the-hearth-and-the-wild]

Don't be amazed if you see my eyes always wandering. In fact, this is my way of reading, and it is only in this way that reading proves fruitful to me. If a book truly interests me, I cannot follow it for more than a few lines before my mind, having seized on a thought that the text suggests to it, or a feeling, or a question, or an image, goes off on a tangent and springs from thought to thought, from image to image, in an itinerary of reasonings and fantasies that I feel the need to pursue to the end, moving away from the book until I have lost sight of it. The stimulus of reading is indispensable to me, and of meaty reading, even if, of every book, I manage to read no more than a few pages. But those few pages already enclose for me whole universes, which I can never exhaust.

Italo Calvino, If On A Winter's Night A Traveler

[quotationsworld]

In films, we are voyeurs, but in novels, we have the experience of being someone else: knowing another person's soul from the inside. No other art form does that. And this is why sometimes, when we put down a book, we find ourselves slightly altered as human beings. Novels change us from within.

— Donna Tartt, in this 2013 interview by Laurie Grassi for Chatelaine

One time he broke into the house on Devoe Street in Brooklyn, removing the screen, scraping himself shimmying through the window. I was in the shower and screamed when he pulled back the curtain. He was ecstatic, overly proud of himself, and I laughed so hard I had to sit down. We didn't talk about us. I stayed in the shower and he watched. Didn't touch me. By dinnertime he was back in San Francisco.
