"I read to learn new things, I read for ideas and inspiration, I read for enjoyment and happiness, but above all else I read to escape the real world."

"Books have taught me to be empathetic, to be grateful, to be open-minded, and to follow my passion."

"By living a reading life...I have lived many lives at once."

"The love of reading is highly contagious. Read everything, anything, anytime, anywhere."
