#️⃣Books

letters in bottles

Books are letters in bottles, cast into the waves of time, from one person trying to save the world to another.

books are enchanted wardrobes

I also still believe that books operate along the same principles as enchanted wardrobes. You climb into that little space and come out the other side in a vast and secret world, a place both more frightening and more wonderful than your own.

invisible friends

I was raised among books making invisible friends in pages that seemed cast from dust and whose smell I carry on my hands to this day.

books are mirrors

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