“Books can be possessive, can't they? You're walking around in a bookstore and a certain one will jump out at you, like it had moved there on its own, just to get your attention. Sometimes what's inside will change your life, but sometimes you don't even have to read it. Sometimes it's a comfort just to have a book around. Many of these books haven't even had their spines cracked. 'Why do you buy books you don't even read?' our daughter asks us. That's like asking someone who lives alone why they bought a cat. For company, of course.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

“Even on the most solemn occasions I got away without wearing socks and hid that lack of civilization in high boots”
― Albert Einstein
