“A book is a present you can open again and again”
“A book is a gift you can open again and again.”
“Books fall open, you fall in. When you climb out again, you're a bit larger than you used to be.”
“One sheds ones sickness in books- repeats and presents again ones emotions, to be master of them.”
“I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human face looking at me”
“Sometimes, all it takes to become human again is someone who can see you that way, no matter how you present on the surface.”
