Jorge Luis Borges (1899 - 1986)
People do tell a writer things that they don't tell others. I don't know why, unless it is that having read one or two of his books they feel on peculiarly intimate terms with him; or it may be that they dramatize themselves and, seeing themselves as it were as characters in a novel, are ready to be as open with him as they imagine the characters of his invention are.

W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Razor's Edge, 1943

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926), The Happy Life
- More quotations on: [Books]
All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.
