“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
“Sometimes, the most profound of awakenings come wrapped in the quietest of moments.”
“Many, if not most, of the best and most lasting children’s books have multiple levels, some of which are not fully accessible to their most likely readers…at least, not on their first read-through at age eight or ten or fifteen.”
“The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time.”
“Books are the most tolerant of friends.”
“Wait for that wisest of all counselores, Time.”
