They made me the person I am today....Francie Nolan sitting and reading her precious books...
"From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood."
- Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Ch. 22
or Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind
Scarlett: Sir, you are no gentleman.
Rhett Butler: And you, Miss, are no lady.
Pippi Longstocking
“But Nightshirts aren't dangerous," Pippi assured her. "They don't bite anybody except in self defense.”
― Astrid Lindgren, Pippi Longstocking
Ah, the books! Put them on kindles, nooks, between the pages, write them on lined paper....they sing to us day and night!
