    “A good book is like a guest. They stay with you for a while, and when they leave, you are still smiling, and thinking they left a little too soon. You will always remember their pleasant company; the things they said that moved you and maybe changed your perspective. You plan to invite them again so you can spend quality time together and when you invite them in, you are full of anticipation about the new discoveries you will make when you are together.”

Up and up, she drifted above her bed, through the white mosquito nets, until she was as light as a sea bird. She drifted through the open flap of her window, into the balmy night air. Through the rainstorm, she flew, over the city of Bangkok and its blurry lights, until the stars themselves, guided this bird on her journey into the mountains, and above Tham Luang cave.”

    “A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”
    Ursula K. Le Guin
