I want to smash this concrete world into oblivion. I want to be bigger, better, stronger. I want to be the bird that flies away.

Only an idiot would rely on the energy of a bean or a leaf to stay awake throughout the day.

Sometimes a book isn't a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Sometimes it's the only story you know how to tell.

I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters.

All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.

People seldom realize that they tell lies with their lips and truths with their eyes all the time.

I love walking into a bookstore. It's like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.
