  1. Laurie Halse Anderson _ Speak

    Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance.

  2. Anthony Powell _ The Valley of Bones

    I was impressed for the ten thousandth time by the fact that literature illuminates life only for those to whom books are a necessity. Books are unconvertible assets, to be passed on only to those who possess them already.

  3. Iain Pears _ The Dream of Scipio

    Father is a school ... He always wanted to write books. But he became rich instead, so is not allowed.

  4. Jeanette Winterson _ Why Be Happy When You Could Be

    Mia madre non voleva che i libri cadessero nelle mie mani. Non aveva previsto che io potessi cadere nei libri, che mi infilassi dentro di loro per stare al sicuro.

  5. Jeanette Winterson _ Why Be Happy When You Could Be

    Ti do un consiglio: quando sei giovane e ti capita di leggere qualcosa che non ti piace affatto, mettilo da parte e rileggilo tra tre anni dopo. Se ancora non ti piace, rileggilo dopo altri tre anni. E quando sei giovane - quando arrivi ai cinquant'anni come me - rileggerai il libro che ti è piaciuto in assoluto di meno.

    At my most precarious, I balanced on a book, and the books rafted me over the tides of feelings that left me soaked and shattered.

  7. Jeanette Winterson _ Why Be Happy When You Could Be

    I was sixteen and my mother was about to throw me out of the house forever, for breaking a very big rule, even bigger than the forbidden books. The rule was not just No Sex, but definitely No Sex With Your Own Sex.

  8. Virginia Woolf _ Jacob's Room

    Every face, every shop, bedroom window, public-house, and dark square is a picture feverishly turned--in search of what? It is the same with books. What do we seek through millions of pages?

  9. Betty Smith _ A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

    The library was a little old shabby place. Francie thought it was beautiful. The feeling she had about it was as good as the feeling she had about church. She pushed open the door and went in. She liked the combined smell of worn leather bindings, library past and freshly inked stamping pads better than she liked the smell of burning incense at high mass.

  10. Francesca Lia Block _ The Thorn Necklace: Healing

    I can arrange words on a page but I can't seem to organize books on a shelf. Over the years, My Secret has shelved thousands and thousands, held each one in his hands. He thinks they might have seeped into him, through his skin, as much as the books he's read. At night and on his days off we spend hours talking about writing. He reads three or four books at a time. When he's not working at the bookstore he goes to other bookstores around the city and browses until closing time. Holding more volumes in his hands, filling himself up with words.

  11. Susanna Clarke _ Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

    How is a magician to exist without books? Let someone explain to me. It is like asking a politician to achieve high office without the benefit of bribes or patronage.

  12. Richard Matheson _ I Am Legend

    Miró hacia la biblioteca. Aquella sabiduría no calmaría nunca su fuego; siglos y siglos de palabras no podían satisfacer aquel deseo imperativo e irracional.
