"Stories never really end, even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don’t end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page."

“Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times?” Mo had said… “As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells… and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower… both strange and familiar.”
