“Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.”
― Jeanette Winterson

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
― Ray Bradbury

“Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows.”
― John Betjeman

“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”
― Mark Twain
