Greetings everyone!
Today I feel the need to share with you why “books are magic”… So I found such amazing quotes.
Enjoy!
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
― Neil Gaiman, Coraline
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
― Jorge Luis Borges
“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”
― Oscar Wilde
“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
― Madeleine L’Engle
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
― Stephen King, On Writing
“I cannot live without books.”
― Thomas Jefferson
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

“Books should go where they will be most appreciated, and not sit unread, gathering dust on a forgotten shelf, don’t you agree?”
― Christopher Paolini
“My Best Friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.”
― Abraham Lincoln
“If you take a book with you on a journey,” Mo had said when he put the first one in her box, “an odd thing happens: The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it… yes, books are like flypaper—memories cling to the printed page better than anything else.”
― Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
“I don’t believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”
― J.K. Rowling
“Everything in the world exists in order to end up as a book.”
― Stéphane Mallarmé
“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden
“Sleep is good, he said, And books are better.”
― George R.R. Martin
“He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world.
She was the book thief without the words.
Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
“A book is a gift you can open again and again.”
― Garrison Keillor

PS Thank you for choosing, open, and reading a book all the way through its very end. Also to find it a place to stay in your place, or to the eyes of someone else if you wish to share.
