Book Quotes of the Week



"The greatest deed you can do for anyone is not free them from pain or hunger, but from ignorance." Matshona Dhliwayo

"Here's what I mean by the miracle of language. When you're falling into a good book, exactly as you might fall into a dream, a little conduit opens, a passageway between a reader's heart and a writer's, a connection that transcends the barriers of continents and generations and even death ... And here's the magic. You're different. You can never go back to being exactly the same person you were before you disappeared into that book." Anthony Doerr

"In dystopia, when time has run out and the worst is yet to come, the urge to live still remains." Elizabeth Fifer

"Sometimes you just need to lay on the couch and read for a couple of years." N.N.

[If anyone can tell me the originator of this quote, I'd be very thankful and would happily include the name.
