Libraries really are wonderful. They're better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts.

There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.

There may be stranger reasons for being alive. There are books There’s interlibrary loan. There are books you can fall into and pull up over your head.

Interlibrary loans are a wonder of the world and a glory of civilization.

I do not miss my toys. I wouldn't play with them anyway. I am fifteen. I miss my childhood.

I care more about the people in books than the people I see every day.

It doesn't matter. I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books.
