"You think that your pains and heartbreaks are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."
-- James Baldwin
"All books are either dreams or swords,
You can cut, or you can drug, with words."
-- Amy Lowell
"No matter how busy you may think you are,
you must find time for reading,
or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance."
--Atwood H. Townsend
