“It's a tragic fact to die in an accident”

“I can promise you books and conversation and all my heart.”

“When I was in my twenties and broke, I'd buy books before food. A meal will sustain you for a few hours, a good book will sustain you for life.”

“A place is not really a place without a bookstore.”

“I think you can do a lot, like describing people with their physical characteristics, things like that, but to me, I've always found it to be a much more informative question to ask somebody what they read.”

“A life isn't measured in hours and minutes. It's the quality, not the length.”
