“Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.”

“These weren't cheap modern books; these were books bound in leather, and not just leather, but leather from clever cows who had given their lives for literature after a happy existence in the very best pastures.”

“Food. Drink. Sleep. Books. They are all drugs.”

“I am awestruck and I am happy to see that the book fair happens. I’ve learnt everything I know on the go, like my mother tongue.”

“I am not a visual person. I have spent so many bounded years in my childhood that I have grown used to having books as my window on reality.”

“I'm not interested in creating a book that is read once and then placed on the shelf and forgotten. I am very happy when people have worn out my books, or that they're held together by Scotch tape.”

“It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.”

“Yes, books are dangerous. They should be dangerous - they contain ideas.”

“When someone is mean to me, I just make them a victim in my next book.”

“That's right, I am a book kisser.”
