I read.. because one life is not enough

I read.. because one life is not enough

[A young adult novel] ends not with happily ever after, but at a new beginning, with the sense of a lot of life yet to be lived.

This is how you hold onto your family. You hold them with open hands so they are free to find futures of their own. It's just that simple.

I caught a glimpse of happiness, and saw it was a bird on a branch, fixing to take wing.

I'm so far gone that I'm telling the truth. It sounds like a foreign language.

Only the nonreader fears books.
