Books are like a mirror. If an ass looks in, you can't expect an angel to look out.
- Arthur Schopenhauer

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
- Samuel Johnson

Books turn people into isolated individuals, and once that's happened, the road only grows rockier. Books wire you to want to be Steve McQueen, but the world wants you to be SMcQ23667bot@hotmail.com.
- Douglas Coupland
