“Books to the ceiling,Books to the sky,My pile of books is a mile high.How I love them! How I need them!I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.”

“The whole world is covered in buttons, and not one of them is mine!”

“All the miles of a hard road are worth a moment of true happiness.”

“You can keep your willpower, Frog. I am going home to bake a cake.”

“Blah, said Toad.”

“Come back and wake me up.....half past May! (the Toad)”

“There is a logic [to my reading], but I can't define it. I like reading impulsively. I collect books, I have a lot of them, but most of them I have not read yet. I'll read them when they call me from the shelf.”
