“Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books.”
― Oprah Winfrey

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“You're not allowed to say anything about books because they're books, and books are, you know, God.”
― Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down

“Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent
