About This Quote

She was addicted to literature like some people were addicted to heroin. The idea that people can be addicted to reading is not a new one. Shakespeare said, “Books are the quietest, most constant, and most instructive of all friends; they are always at hand; they lie upon the bed, they sit upon the table, they are in the way, they are under the chair; in short, they are everywhere.”
