Quotable L. M. Montgomery
I’ve been neglecting my “Quotable” category for months. So let’s revive it with a quote from a favorite author…
“I’d like to add some beauty to life…I don’t exactly want to make people know more…but I’d love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me…to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn’t been born.”
– Anne Shirley, in Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery
Quotable Gail Carson Levine
“There’s nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you’ve read only once can’t.”
–Gail Carson Levine, in Writing Magic
Gail Carson Levine is the author of a number of fantasy books for children and young adults, best known for Ella Enchanted. You can follow her blog at: http://gailcarsonlevine.blogspot.com/
Quotable Hollywood
“She was helping people become whoever they were going to be. Because when you read a book as a child it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading does.”
–Kathleen Kelly, character played by Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail, speaking of her mother, who ran a bookstore
Quotable Peggy Christian
“A page of print is like a secret passage that leads you to worlds so far away, you cannot imagine them until the magic of reading carries you there.”
—Peggy Christian, in The Bookstore Mouse
