reading and relaxing in Seattle

10 quotes/for book lovers.

books and reading, life · June 14, 2023

Books are the best! They allow us to escape reality and travel to different places. They’re great for when you are looking to relax or learn something new. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words why I love reading so much so I’m borrowing some words from other people to describe my love for books.

Here are 10 quotes for book lovers:

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
— Ernest Hemingway

“But for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.”
— Jane Austen

“You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”
— Paul Sweeney

“That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.”
— Anthony Trollope

“Books may well be the only true magic.”
— Alice Hoffman

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
— Cicero

“Reality doesn’t always give us the life that we desire, but we can always find what we desire between the pages of books.”
— Adelise M. Cullens

“I was born with a reading list I will never finish.”
— Maud Casey

“People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.”
— Saul Bellow

“A well-read woman is a dangerous creature.”
— Lisa Kleypas
