Author of quotes: Cornelia Funke. Page 4

Away from home nothing comforts like a book, right?

You know, people are funny about writers: most of them couldn't imagine that books are written the same people as they are.

Sometimes I am glad that our memory is not so good at keeping memories as books. Without them we would have nothing to remember. Forgot the Trojan war, Columbus, Marco Polo, Shakespeare, all the crazy kings and gods.

If you take a book, a strange thing happens: the book begins collecting your memories. One has only to open it later, and you're immediately transported there, where he read these pages. I skimmed the first words - and come to life in front of you are familiar with the paintings, you feel the smells, the taste of ice cream, which was eating while reading... Trust me, books are magical, because nothing holds memories like their page.

We are all liars, when we have benefit from it.

Why do adults think that children are more tolerant of secrecy than the truth? Don't they know about the dark stories that weave themselves, to explain the mystery?

Books must be heavy, because in them is hidden the whole world.

Books are like Velcro. Nothing preserves memories better than our book pages.
