I had never seen so many books gathered in a single space as I saw in that room. I felt less afraid when I thought of all the other people who seemed to have had harder lives than mine. I disappeared completely to occupy the world of whatever book I was reading. Petina Gappah
About This Quote

For a writer, everything is about books. All of them come together to form a library of knowledge and experience, which is put to use as a writer puts down words on paper. To be a writer is to be a reader, to live in the world of words, and to become lost in the worlds that those words create.
