An Edward Gorey illustration of gothic Edwardian figures in winter gear lining up to trim a Christmas tree. There are two adult men and two adult women, and two children, all holding ornaments. The adults are black and white; the children and the ornaments are in color—reds, greens, golds only. At the front of the line is an alligator, green and standing on his face legs like people, delicately placing a red ornament on a Christmas tree that’s partially visible the corner of the image, and already partially trimmed. The people seem to be waiting patiently for the alligator to finish. There is a grand house behind them in the distance.

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.” Alan Bennett, The History Boys

“What better occupation, really, than to spend the evening at the fireside with a book, with the wind beating on the windows and the lamp burning bright...Haven't you ever happened to come across in a book some vague notion that you've had, some obscure idea that returns from afar and that seems to express completely your most subtle feelings?” Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.” Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” F. Scott Fitzgerald

one of my favorite ideas, said 4 ways
