"When I was small and easily wounded books……" — Lauren Groff

"When I was small and easily wounded books were my carapace. If I were recalled to my hurts in the middle of a book they somehow mattered less. My corporeal life was slight the dazzling one in my head was what really mattered. Returning to books was coming home."

— Lauren Groff
