“One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts--just mere thoughts--are as powerful as electric batteries--as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“Mom, you're not going to let him name him, are you? That's favoritism, and I'll be traumatized if you do.”
― James Howe, Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
― Stephen King
