“Reading reading reading . . . I am so grateful to New York City (and not being dependent on car culture) for the time created on public transportation to do so much reading – one of my great pleasures.
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” – Groucho Marx
“There is something called the rapture of the deep, and it refers to what happens when a deep-sea diver spends too much time at the bottom of the ocean and can’t tell which way is up. When he surfaces, he’s liable to have a condition called the bends, where the body can’t adapt to the oxygen levels in the atmosphere. All of this happens to me when I surface from a great book.” – Nora Ephron
“The pursuit of truth, not of facts, is the business of fiction.”
― Oakley Hall
I read like the flame reads the wood.”
― Alfred Döblin”
