“Indentations on the page, words, my friends, and I will share them with you.”

“Life’s a teacher. A mind is the highway. Learning is the reward.” With these words echoing in my mind, I decided it was time to begin sharing plans with my friends, family, and you rather than to dream or plan them alone.”

“I enjoy sharing my books as I do my friends, asking only that you treat them well and see them safely home.”

“The only source of my power are the pages you hold and the words written thereon. As you read them, I hope the magic starts to work between my words and your imagination.”

“Noble words, my friend; you can't drink them or wrap them around your feet or burn them in your firepit or give them to children crying in hunger......They will cry for a month, then they will eat his share of the food. And wouldn't he want it that way?”

“When I knew what I had to do / I took all my notebooks, all my manuscripts / and ate them page by page / so I could take my words with me”
