Quote of the Day – August 16, 2019

Quote of the Day – August 13, 2019
“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.

My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Shatter Me
Quote of the Day – August 12, 2019

Quote of the Day – August 9, 2019
I love books. I adore everything about them. I love the feel of the pages on my fingertips. They are light enough to carry, yet so heavy with worlds and ideas. I love the sound of the pages flicking against my fingers. Print against fingerprints. Books make people quiet, yet they are so loud.”
