Quote by Hadley Coull

“Books are like people. They live on in those whose lives they touch, like a kind of ancestral spirit. Once you’ve been touched by a book, it will stay with you forever.”

“There are more important things than success. I'm not saying that it isn't important to succeed, but books teach us that other things are more important. Like reaching out to help someone in need, listening to someone who is troubled, and understanding that there are things more valuable than money. They teach us ideas that can't be explained by logic alone, concepts that are perhaps not so much the norm these days, but used to be common sense. And everyone understood them. If you read a book, you'd understand immediately.”

“...Gabriel was a traveller. Not of the pith helmet and bamboo stick variety, nor even of the Baedeker guide and Gladstone bag kind, but a traveller in the mind, scaling the mountains of learning created by historians and philosophers, scientists and poets and novelists. The books in Number Four King's Bench Walk were friends into whose warm embrace he fell every evening and who held him until bedtime at half-past midnight every night. Few knew of these travels, since Gabriel read not to acquire knowledge, nor to impart it, but simply because he could not help himself.”
