The book sales we normally go to in April were postponed, but I had posts planned already. So you get book quotes! Hopefully they’ll inspire you to get into a good book.
“There was also something about the smell of bookshops that was strangely comforting to her. She wondered if it was the scent of ink and paper, or the perfume of binding, string, and glue. Maybe it was the scent of knowledge. Information. Thoughts and ideas. Poetry and love. All of it bound into one perfect, calm place.”- Alyson Richman, The Garden of Letters
“The room is warm and smells like dust, and just the presence of so many books makes it easier to breathe. It’s remarkable how being around books, even those you’ve never read, can have a calming effect, like walking into a crowded party and finding it full of people you know.”- Mackenzi Lee, The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings, #2)
“There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books.”― Irving Stone, Clarence Darrow for the Defense
“Books, for me, are a home. Books don’t make a home–they are one, in the sense that just as you do with a door, you open a book, and you go inside. Inside there is a different kind of time and a different kind of space.”- Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
“The book salesman should be honored because he brings to our attention, as a rule, the very books we need most and neglect most.” –Confucius
