Book Magic Quotes

“We are 'tribals,' Yadeen and me from the Thak heartland, and Hulak, from the grass country north of Jindazhen," she told him. "We use the magic taught by our tribes and academic magic. Book magic. The masters who sneer are too blind to realize the gods and the immortals use no books. They think tribal magic is on the same level as hedge-witchery. They will mock you and do their best to shut you out of their oh-so-learned circles if you admit to taking other magics seriously. Lindhall is all right, and your other teachers. But be careful around the likes of Chioké and Girisunika. If you want to move up in Carthak, you stay clean of the stain of tribal magic.”

“All books are magic. An object that can take you to another world without even leaving your room? A story written by a stranger and yet seems they wrote it just for you or to you? Loving and hating people made out of ink and paper, not flesh and blood? Yes, books are magic. Maybe even the strongest magic there is.”
― Meg Shaffer, The Lost Story

“What the author put down on the page was just part of it. Characters, settings and plots from their creative minds were brought to life every time someone new read the words. Imaginary lives were created. Mythical worlds were explored. Fantastical creatures existed for new readers to experience.”
― Melissa Bourbon, Shadows on the Page

“Books spoke to her as clearly as Feralorn’s mice told him they wanted more cheese. Even as a child, she could touch the cover of a book and immediately sense the spirit of its plot, the feelings it would kindle, the reader it sought. As her powers grew, books began calling to her from across the room. Her skills may not have been accepted in arcane academia, but they were excellent grounds for a business.”
