Quote

I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.

I love everything about books. I love the content, the way they look and even the lovely way they smell. I think a book collection says something about you as a person, and certainly my books are something I'd want to pass on for future generations.

I love to reread, even more than I like to read, so keeping a hold of books that I adore is very important, although they flee from me - they are always fleeing.

I've always been fascinated by books. When I was young, my grandfather used to hand out a book - which would be anything from a biography to a classic - to me every week and ask me to write a piece on what I thought about it. On the other hand, my mother used to love reading thrillers and bestsellers.

I'm obsessed with books. When a good book hits me, it's all I can think about and all I can do.

I love books, and I love to read, and I had ideas for books that I thought would be neat to read.

Since I spend such a long time making each book, I only choose books that I'm really interested in and that I really love.

My books are, in a way, a record of my life - that part of it that came to flower and fruit in my mind.

Books are my very favorite gift to give. If you give a book to someone and they really respond to it, you feel you've actually changed their life in some way.
