"What if I were seeking a hardcopy? A book I can bury my nose in metaphorically and literally if I'm a self-confessed book-sniffer and proud to say so."

S. A. Tawks, British Author

Books, Imagination, Love, Reading

"I think kids want the same thing from a book that adults want - a fast-paced story, characters worth caring about, humor, surprises, and mystery. A good book always keeps you asking questions, and makes you keep turning pages so you can find out the answers."

Rick Riordan, American Novelist

"I read over a hundred books a year and have done so since I was fifteen years old, and every book I've read has taught me something."

Nicholas Sparks, American Author

"I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction."

"Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man, but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity."

Life

Power

"Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die."

Truth

"The great law of culture: Let each become all that he was created capable of being."
