"Oh, how the clouds stumbled in and assembled in the sky.
Great obese clouds.
Dark and plump.
Bumping into each other. Apologising. Moving on and finding room."
- The Book Thief.
"This might suggest that the so - called imaginary is really the real time, and that what we call real time is just a figment of our imaginations." - A Brief History of Time - Stephen W. Hawking.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926)

Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book. ~Author Unknown
A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. ~William Styron
Many people, other than the authors, contribute to the making of a book, from the first person who had the bright idea of alphabetic writing through the inventor of movable type to the lumberjacks who felled the trees that were pulped for its printing. It is not customary to acknowledge the trees themselves, though their commitment is total. ~Forsyth and Rada
I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. ~Anna Quindlen - you mean that's not the only way? seriously my walls are mostly bookshelves!
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. ~Groucho Marx
I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book. ~Groucho Marx - that is exactly what i usually do
The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. ~Mark Twain
A book reads the better which is our own, and has been so long known to us, that we know the topography of its blots, and dog's ears, and can trace the dirt in it to having read it at tea with buttered muffins. ~Charles Lamb
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. ~Chinese Proverb
Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own. ~William Hazlitt
My test of a good novel is dreading to begin the last chapter. ~Thomas Helm
A dirty book is rarely dusty. ~Author Unknown

I really like to one by Groucho Marx, maybe since it took me a minute to understand.
Oh and the last one, since it's true on two levels
the mark twain one reminds me of a different one i read, but i don't feel like finding it. lol it's my lazy day.
here's the mine for a day. Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Mark Twain

"There's a crack in everything-that's how the light gets in!"
"Humanity cannot exist without its dreams, but for any dream to exist there must be a sacrifice."
Both quotes were made (as far as I know) by O.R. Melling and they are some of my favorite quotes. Just wanted to share.:)
