Quote

If you have a book, you have a friend.

I turn to books for a feeling of companionship: for somebody knowing what I have known.

I'll read a book every now and then, but unlike most of my friends I don't always have one on the go.

He who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how they are.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

My book has a lot of parts of my life that people don't know about.

I really have lived in books. Books are friends. They are some of the friends that make you who you are.

I wasn't smart enough to read relationship books when I was coming up. I learned everything the hard way.

I get ideas for my books from people I know and what happens to them, from places I've been and what happens to me, and from things I read.
