Secondhand Books Quotes

“Books are everywhere; and always the same sense of adventure fills us. Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack. Besides, in this random miscellaneous company we may rub against some complete stranger who will, with luck, turn into the best friend we have in the world.

- The Death of the Moth”
― Virginia Woolf, The Secret, Book & Scone Society

“Secondhand books have a way of traveling, sure. But what travels forward can come back.”
― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
