You become your best optimistic self. Like romantic love, book love fills you with a certain warmth and completeness. The world holds promise.”

“I’m imagining that paper books will evolve to become something akin to candles - we have them in our homes and cherish their light, but don’t light our homes with them. Readers of Lincoln’s era would likely be surprised at how well-lit our homes are, and I think it’s likely that we will be surprised at how well-read future book readers will be.”
