“Books don't prattle. Books don't make demands. Yet they give you everything they possess. It's a very satisfying partnership.”

“If you never ask yourself any questions about the meaning of a passage, you cannot expect the book to give you any insight you don't already possess”

“Don't give up on the power of books to change lives and the world. As everything goes digital, book formats will morph, but their profound influence will endure.”

“I just wrote a book. But don't go and buy it yet, because I don't think it's finished.”

“Here is all I ask of a book- give me everything. Everything, and don't leave out a single word.”

“Don't do it. Please. I know this book looks delicious with its light-weight pages sliced thin a prosciutto and swiss stacked in a way that would make Dagwood salivate. The scent of freshly baked words wafting up with every turn of the page. Mmmm page. But don't do it. Not yet. Don't eat this book.”
