Sometimes I read the same books over and over and over. What’s great about books is that the stuff inside doesn’t change. … No matter how many times you read that book the words and pictures don’t change. You can open and close books a million times and they stay the same. They look the same. They say the same words. The charts and pictures are the same colors. Books are not like people. Books are safe.

— Kathryn Erskine, Mockingbird (via julie911)
