Quotes by Jon Cohen (?)

“What else is a library, but a temple of truth? What other function do books have, the great ones, but to change the reader? Books to comfort. But most of all, books to disturb you forward.”
― Jon Cohen, Harry's Trees

“To every story we bring the story of ourselves.”

“Because it’s worth it. Worth the risk and the pain. Of all the glorious enchantments of this world—spring, snow, laughter, red roses, dogs, books—love is by far the best.”
― Jon Cohen, Harry's Trees
