Quotes on BOOKS, LIBRARY and READING and LISTENING
A BOOK
A BOOK is a spell that can charm one away
On a cloud or a wing for a year or a day.
A book is a play that begins with a line
Woven from thought from the fabric of time.
A book holds a world of all that has been
Of dreams unfulfilled, of dreams yet unseen.
The things one imagines can really come true,
It can change someone's life -
It could happen to you.
~Dawn Lawrence, The People's Friend Special 2017

But books grant us myriad possibilities: the possibility of change, the possibility of illumination.

“The real importance of reading is that it creates an ease and intimacy with the process of writing; one comes to the country of the writer with one's papers and identification pretty much in order. Constant reading will pull you into a place (a mind-set, if you like the phrase) where you can write eagerly and without self-consciousness. It also offers you a constantly growing knowledge of what has been done and what hasn't, what is trite and what is fresh, what works and what just lies there dying (or dead) on the page. The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.” ~Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

the music you listen to, the people you meet,
the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in.

You are every single second of every single day.
So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence.
Let the words run through your veins and let the colors fill your mind
until there is nothing left to do but explode.
There are no wrong answers.
Inspiration is everything.
Sit back, relax, and take it all in.
Now, go out and create something.”
~Jac Vanek
