Quotes
Reading was a joy, a desperately needed escape from the pain of her own life.
It wasn't that she didn't appreciate the value of the books; it was just that she had never quite understood what they could do for her.
Books were the world, and the world was books.
Reading was a way of getting away.
She had a sense of something larger than herself, larger than life, that was waiting for her.
Books were a safe place, a world apart from the real one.
She had found a place where she could belong.
Books were her lifeline, her escape, her means of self-discovery.
Reading was a door to the rest of the world.
She was learning that a book could be many things: a friend, a teacher, a confidant.
