“The earth is my body; my head is in the stars.”

“I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.”

“In books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own.”

“There is an ache in my heart for the imagined beauty of a life I haven’t had, from which I had been locked out, and it never goes away.”

“Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.”
