“...the struggle for grammatical uprightness begins not on the printed page, but in the soul.”
“We read five words on the first page of a really good novel and we begin to forget that we are reading printed words on a page; we begin to see images.”
“Seeking for salvation within covers with pages of printed letters”
“The souls of the upright in sleep have vision of a mysterious heaven.”
“It doesn't matter how a novel was printed. What matters are the words in between the pages.”
“Books are like flypaper, memories cling to the printed pages better than anything else.”
