Books
460 – “I love walking into a bookstore. It’s like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.”
–Tahereh Mafi [Attributed]
449 – “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”
–Jojen Reed in George R R Martin’s A Dance with Dragons
441 – “The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”
–Hector (played by Richard Griffiths) in The History Boys (2006)
412 – “I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.”
–Neil Gaiman
411 – “A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
–Sir John Lubbock [He was paraphrasing a quote by Cicero, although this has been misattributed to Cicero extensively, See Source Notes for further information]
407 – A Quote about Life
“I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I’ll never be tested on.
I want to paint because I want to, not because I’ve got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to.
I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite.”
