“I believe in books.”

“I don't believe in ONE holy book. I believe all books are holy. Of course, some books are holy shit.”

“I believe in the absolute and unlimited liberty of reading. I believe in wandering through the stacks and picking out the first thing that strikes me. I believe in choosing books based on the dust jacket. I believe in reading books because others dislike them or find them dangerous. I believe in choosing the hardest book imaginable. I believe in reading up on what others have to say about this difficult book and then making up my own mind. - Rick Moody”

“I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”

“I don't believe that there are dangerous writers: the danger of certain books is not in the books themselves but in the passions of their readers.”

“I firmly believe every book was meant to be written.”
