Quote by I.V. Ophelia

“The books were all new. Not one cracked spine, not one dog-eared page, not even the small of well-aged paper. A wealth of money was easy to fake, but a wealth of knowledge was much harder.”

“When she looked at the books—all of the stories she had read—it reminded her of everything those books contained: love, adventure, friendship, family. She could experience them from afar without ever having to worry about what would happen to her if it didn’t go the way she wanted it to.”

“It's reckoned that about 80 per cent of all films are remakes of books, and therefore secondary in nature, and more often than not, inferior.

“He had everything in books, rolled up, buried in little secret boxes: Sea and meadow, deep blue and sandy winds, foul winds and snow, and the wind they call Zephyr. Starless nights and nights of passion, velvety nights and sleepless nights! Southern, white, pink, sweet as could be, dreamy, draining nights!

All the vessels on all the seas, all the kisses, islands, roads and all the cities those roads lead to, all the city gates, nooks, crannies, dungeons and tunnels, towers, flags, all the golden curls and jet black braids, the thunder and clash of arms, the clouds, the steppes, and again the wind, sea, and stars! he didn't need anything else, it was all here!”

It was the fourth time I passed a book floating open in midair all by itself next to the shelves, a page periodically turning...Those are the ghosts,...People who die with too many books on their To Be Read stack sometimes end up here. The ones who don’t feel they can pass until they catch up on their reading....”

And thinking of Joe makes her determined to live her one life well -- to make it one filled with books, adventures, and love.”
