“A book which is left on a shelf is a dead thing but it is also a chrysalis, an inanimate object packed with the potential to burst into new life.”

“Books help to form us. If you cut me open, will you find volume after volume, page after page, the contents of every one I have ever read, somehow transmuted and transformed into me?...So just as my genes and the soul within me make me uniquely me, so I am the sum of the books I have read. I am my literary DNA.”
