The Book Itch Quotes

“Me and my dad talk about important things. Things like truth and what it means to be free. Dad says books can help you. Not every book is true, he says, but the more you read, the easier it is to figure out for yourself what is true.”
― Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, The Book Itch: Freedom, Truth & Harlem's Greatest Bookstore

“Dad made that up just like he made up the sign over the store. He plays with words until they say what he feels. I guess that makes him a poet.”
