Found In Books.

 The treasure trove of books.


" ...a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge. "
             George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones

" Books are the perfect entertainment; no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life. "          
            Stephen King

" Which of us has not felt that the character we are reading in the printed page is more real than the person standing besides us? "
           Cornelia Funke

" There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we believed we left without having lived them, those we spent with a favorite book. "
           Marcel Proust, Days of Reading

" I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul. "
          Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

" Please, no matter how we advance in technology please don't abandon the book-there is nothing in our material world more beautiful than a book. "
          Patti Smith

" He often envied people who hadn't read his favourite books. They had such happiness before them. "
          Charles Finch, A Stranger in Mayfair

" Books are not about passing the time. They're about other lives. Other worlds. "
           Alan Bennett, The Uncommon Reader

" The book is man's best invention so far. "
           Carolina Maria De Jesus
