"I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it."

"How does it feel, anyway?"How does what feel?"When you take one of those books?"At that moment, she chose to keep still. If he wants an answer, he'd have to come back, and he did. "Well?"he asked, but again, it was the boy who replied, before Liesel could even open her mouth.It feels good, doesn't it? To steal something back."

"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

"I like to imagine that, on the day after my last, my library and I will crumble together, so that even when I am no more I'll still be with my books."

"If you have read 6,000 books in your lifetime, or even 600, it's probably because at some level you find 'reality' a bit of a disappointment."

"There are lots of great ideas in my book, but as a cohesive unit, my book is only held together with glue at the spine. Or it would be, if it weren’t an ebook."

"Every reader exists to ensure for a certain book a modest immortality. Reading is, in this sense, a ritual of rebirth."

"those of us who read because we love it more than anything, who feel about bookstores the way some people feel about jewelers..."

"There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books."

"This book comes with its very own logo (logo sold separately)."

"Unless their use by readers bring them to life, books are indeed dead things."

"Books have a way of finding their way into our lives, usually, right when we need them the most."

"Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind."

"Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book..."

"Fiction is art and art is the triumph over chaos… to celebrate a world that lies spread out around us like a bewildering and stupendous dream."

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."

"I believe that everyone should have a dream and believe in it. Make it real, bring it to life. You'll never regret trying. Trying is what strengthens your heart and delivers courage. Once you believe in yourself, nothing can stop you."

"Nothing was truly unbearable if you had something to read."

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."

"So here is my story, may it bringSome smiles and a tear or so,It happened once upon a time,Far away, and long ago,Outside the night wind keens and wails,Come listen to me, the Teller of Tales!"
