“Have you ever given someone a book you enjoyed enormously, with a feeling of envy because they were about to read it for the first time, an experience you could never have again?”

“There was something about having someone care about you like that that made you feel like you could never be totally alone.”

“And when I was young, did I ever tell you, I always wanted to get inside
a book and never come out again? I loved reading so much I wanted
to be a part of it, and there were some books I could have stayed in
for ever.”

“If you knew who walked beside you at all times, on the path that you have chosen, you could never experience fear or doubt again.”

“Don’t feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.”

“You could say anything you wanted to someone you thought you were never going to see again.”

“…she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?”

“No; that doesn't interest me.'
'That's because you never read a book about it.”

“There are two motives for reading a book: one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.”

“You have no idea how it feels to know that you've cut someone to the quick. I'll never do it again, never, never.”
