Without books life is impossible. Books are our best friends, guiders and philosophers. Every person connects to the books from birth. They share our pain and direct us to lead the future with confidence.

World Book and Copyright Day 2020: Some famous quotes by literary geniuses

“I love books. I adore everything about them. I love the feel of the pages on my fingertips. They are light enough to carry, yet so heavy with worlds and ideas. I love the sound of the pages flicking against my fingers. Print against fingerprints. Books make people quiet, yet they are so loud.” – Nnedi Okorafor 

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” – James Baldwin

“Books are everywhere; and always the same sense of adventure fills us. Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack” – Virginia Woolf

“Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know. -Alberto Manguel

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” -George R.R. Martin

“Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.” -Malala Yousafzai

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.” – Oscar Wilde

“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.” -Carlos Ruiz Zafón

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.” -Jhumpa Lahiri

“Reading is a conversation. All books talk. But a good book listens as well.” -Mark Haddon

“I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a book.” – J.K. Rowling

“The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.” – Isabel Allende

“I love the smell of book ink in the morning.” -Umberto Eco

“The world was hers for the reading.” – Betty Smith
