Jo Walton, Among Others

"If you love books enough, books will love you back."

"I care more about the people in books than the people I see every day."

"The thing about Tolkien, about The Lord of the Rings, is that it's perfect. It's this whole world, this whole process of immersion, this journey. It's not, I'm pretty sure, actually true, but that makes it more amazing, that someone could make it all up. Reading it changes everything."

"It doesn't matter. I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books."
