When you buy a jacket, it’s important the pockets are big enough for a paperback!

I have never experienced a sorrow that was not relieved by an hour of reading.

If reading isn't about communication, it is, in the end, about sharing. But a deferred and fiercely selective kind of sharing.

Time to read is always time stolen. (Like time to write, for that matter, or time to love).Stolen from what?From the tyranny of living.

We see that that ritual of reading every evening at the end of the bed when they were so little--set time, set gestures-- was like a prayer.

The question isn't whether I have time to read or not (time that nobody will ever give me, by the way), but whether I'll allow myself the pleasure of being a reader.

The treacherous are ever distrustful.

I don't think that everybody in the planet should have a child. I've never had the desire I should have a kid.
