Letters to Alice Quotes

“Truly Alice, books are wonderful things; to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and still be safe when you close the book; and having finished it, discover you are changed, yet unchanged! To be able to visit the City of Invention at will, depart at will – that is all, really, education is about, should be about.”
― Fay Weldon, Letters to Alice: On First Reading Jane Austen

“Writers create Houses of the Imagination, from whose doors the generations greet each other.”
