Hold a book in your hand and you’re a pilgrim at the gates of a new city Picture Quote #1

There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away.
