People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.

We are always looking for the book it is necessary to read next.

Associate with the noblest people you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty; but learn to be happy alone.

That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.

I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours.

It was the fangirl code for every book geek: read, chat, squeal. Re-read, chat, and squeal again, until it’s all over and the dreaded book funk sets in. Find the next best thing to fill the void, then repeat steps one through three as necessary.
