“A good book will pull you in from the beginning and take you on a journey you'll never forget.”

“Every good book should take you to a brand new world: enjoy the journey!”

“You can't forget the things you did in the past, or you'll never learn from them.”

“You can tell you're reading a really good book when you forget all about everything else and know you'll die if you get to at least the end of the chapter”

“You never forget the books you loved as a kid. You never forget the poems you memorized, the first book you read until the cover fell off, the book you read hidden from your mother. What an honor to hold hands with a child's imagination in this way.”

“I really do believe that all of you are at the beginning of a wonderful journey. As you start traveling down that road of life, remember this: There are never enough comfort stops. The places you're going to are never on the map. And once you get that map out, you won't be able to re-fold it no matter how smart you are. So forget the map, roll down the windows, and whenever you can pull over and have picnic with a pig. And if you can help it never fly as cargo.”
