last words
“Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.”
― Terry Pratchett
“Literature is a textually transmitted disease, normally contracted in childhood.”
― Jane Yolen
“Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together
In vast flock of variegated feather and have a charm which the domesticated
volumes of the library lack. Besides, in this random miscellaneous company
We may rub against some complete stranger who will, with luck, turn into the
best friend we have in the world.”–Virginia Woolf
“Character–the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life–is the source from which self-respect springs.”–Joan Didion
“Not that she objected to solitude. Quite the contrary. She had books, thank heaven, quantities of books. All sorts of books.”–Jean Rhys
“When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.”
― Maya Angelou
“No one says a novel has to be one thing. It can be anything it wants to be, a vaudeville show, the six o’clock news, the mumblings of wild men saddled by demons.” ― Ishmael Reed
“I couldn’t live a week without a private library – indeed, I’d part with all my furniture and squat and sleep on the floor before I’d let go of the 1500 or so books I possess.” ― H. P. Lovecraft
“Serious literature does not exist to make life easy but to complicate it.” ― Witold Gombrowicz
“Without reserve, I can say that my entire identity is in the books I write.” ― Elena Ferrante
“Now what I like about lit is that though you feel you know the characters involved, you don’t – you get all the benefits of having a relationship, with none of the mess.”
― Joshua Cohen
“I think genre rules should be porous, if not nonexistent.” ― Kazuo Ishiguro
“When writers die they become books, which is, after all, not too bad an incarnation.”–Jorge Luis Borges
