“Books fall open, you fall in”

“Books fall open, you fall in. When you climb out again, you're a bit larger than you used to be.”

“Books Fall OpenBooks fall open,you fall in,delighted where,you've never been.Hear voices not once heard before,Reach world through world,through door on door.Find unexpected keys to things,locked up beyond imaginings….True books will venture,Dare you out,Whisper secrets,Maybe shout,across the gloom,to you in needWho hanker fora book to read.”

“If a book falls open in a library and no one sees it, is it still writing? Or is it simply a page bearing abstract markings?”

“Fall asleep reading a good book and you enter a world of dreams; fall asleep in a film and you miss the end.”

“And books, they offer one hope -- that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that universe, one is saved.”
