"I can always live by my pen."

"I should infinitely prefer a book."

"For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It's not the most social pastime."

"Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time."

"You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book."

"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child."
