Nose in a Book

"If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking."

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

"Books. People never really stop loving books. Fifty-first century. By now you’ve got holovids, direct-to-brain downloads, fiction mist. But you need the smell. The smell of books, Donna. Deep breath!"

— The Doctor, Doctor Who

"Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you."

— Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

"Books have to be heavy because the whole world’s inside them."

— Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
