All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld
"When you read a great book, you don’t escape from life, you plunge deeper into it. There may be a superficial escape – into different countries, mores, speech patterns – but what you are essentially doing is furthering your understanding of life’s subtleties, paradoxes, joys, pains and truths. Reading and life are not separate but symbiotic." - Julian Barnes
"Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced." - Aldous Huxley
