My alma mater was books, a good library.... I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.
Malcolm XThere are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we believe we left without having lived them, those we spent with a favorite book.

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.

When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.

When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.

The Babar the Elephant book is sitting in front of me. I pick it up and start reading it. I remember reading it as a small Boy and enjoying it and imagining that I was friends with Babar, his constant Companion during all of his adventures. He went to the moon, I went with him. He fought Tomb Raiders in Egypt, I fought alongside him. He rescued his elephant girlfriend from Ivory Hunters on the Savanna, I coordinated the getaway. I loved that goddamn Elephant and I loved being his friend. In a childhood full of unhappiness and rage, Babar is one of the few pleasant memories that I have. Me and Babar, kicking some motherfucking ass.

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.
Stephen KingBooks are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.
