Book Quotes of the Week



"Books are a travelling machine! They take you to the past or the future or somewhere in between. They take you to places no passport can take you to, and areas no one knows about." Olivia S. Bassily

"There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you." Björk

"The greatest university of all is a collection of books." Thomas Carlyle

"There is something wonderful about a book. We can pick it up. We can heft it. We can read it. We can set it down. We can think of what we have read. It does something for us. We can share great minds, great actions, and great undertakings in the pages of a book." Gordon B. Hinckley

"We love books because they are the greatest escape. That is because our own minds eye is the purest form of virtual reality." M.R. Mathias

    1. As you know, I'm not into fantasy or futuristics but I totally agree with the quote. Books are a travelling machine. The only one available. ;)

      Have a good weekend,
      Marianne
