    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
