“She loved the smell of books. She loved everything about books. It was her escape. She traveled all over the world with them. She traveled through time. She had been to Tiananmen Square; she had met Anne Frank; she had met Trayvon Martin. Shoot, she had even been to space.” ImaginationBooksReading BooksReading For LifeSmell Of BooksBooks And DreamsBooks And Life Book:Tajrish Source: Tajrish
“I take the book stopped at a fold, deliver myself to its pace, to the breathing of the other storyteller. If I am someone else, it's also because books move men more than journeys or tears. After many pages you end up learning a variant, a different move than the one taken and thought inevitable. I break away from what I am when I learn to treat my own life differently.” LifeLife LessonsReadingLearningBooksReading BooksLearning To LiveHow To ReadBooks And LifeReading And Life Author:Erri De Luca
