Umberto Eco
“I love the smell of book ink in the morning.”
Umberto Eco

Mirra Ginsburg
“One of the most brilliant Russian writers of the twentieth century, Yevgeny Zamyatin belongs to the tradition in Russian literature represented by Gogol, Leskov, Bely, Remizov, and, in certain aspects of their work, also by Babel and Bulgakov. It is a tradition, paradoxically, of experimenters and innovators. Perhaps the principal quality that unites them is their approach to reality and its uses in art - the refusal to be bound by literal fact, the interweaving of reality and fantasy, the transmutation of fact into poetry, often grotesque, oblique, playful, but always expressive of the writer's unique vision of life in his own, unique terms.”
Mirra Ginsburg, The Dragon: Fifteen Stories

Socrates
“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.”
Socrates

Abraham Lincoln
“All I have learned, I learned from books.”
Abraham Lincoln

Jorge Luis Borges
“When writers die they become books, which is, after all, not too bad an incarnation."

[As attributed by Alastair Reid in Neruda and Borges, The New Yorker, June 24, 1996; as well as in The Talk of the Town, The New Yorker, July 7, 1986]”
Jorge Luis Borges
