You cannot fully read a book without being alone. But through this very solitude, you become intimately involved with people whom you might never have met otherwise, either because they have been dead for centuries or because they spoke languages you cannot understand. And nontheless, they have become your closest friends, your wisest advisors, the wizards that hypnotize you, the lovers you have always dreamed of.
-Antonio Munoz Molinas, "The Power of the Pen"
Wow! A long quote, but so true! Or at least in my opinion. I think this quote is on like page 369 of Inkdeath. A good book, but not NEAR as good as the Obernewtyn chronicles!! :) And words are indeed a powerful thing.
Ha Ha! Kewl quote. I dont have the book in front of me, but later I'll post some
OML, I have this exact quote up on my wall! A favourite by far. :-"
