“I am not against teaching students how to take a test. Indeed, we want all of our students to have test-taking knowledge. However, the emphasis of teaching reading through the lens of preparing students for state-mandated tests has become so completely unbalanced that it is drowning any chance our adolescents have of developing into lifelong readers.”

“Dakle, kao što sam rekao, ne mogu da ne budem ponosan na ovu sjajnu kolekciju... Pitaćeš se možda: Zbog čega? Jesu li sve to, recimo, odlično očuvani, retki primerci prvih izdanja? Ne. Imaju li posvete i potpise svojih sopstvenih, legendarnih autora? Ne. Da li su barem pripadale nekoj poznatoj ličnosti pre nego što su dospele ovde? Ne. ...Ali to je skup vrlo kvalitetnih knjiga, zaboga. Pogledaj ih samo. Često stojim pred njima i pitam se... Ne drže li one celi svet na njegovom mestu?”

“I'm not referring to books or novels about love, specifically, but rather to passages of writing that have the power to make you feel a little more alive. The paragraph that gives you a tingle of recognition. The lines that feel as if they are directly written for a deep, secret part of you, that you weren't necessarily even aware of until it was woken up by words. Reading such a passage is, I think, a form of love. Like any relationship, that intrinsic recognition is a way of understanding and being understood, of seeing and being seen.”
