All good and true book-lovers practice the pleasing and improving avocation of reading in bed … No book can be appreciated until it has been slept with and dreamed over.

Eugene Field (The Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac)

On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, and on the wrappings of a cigarette Packet — everywhere. Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed — no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.

1984, George Orwell (via philphys)

Knowing you have something good to read before bed is among the most pleasurable of sensations

Vladimir Nabokov (via kari-shma) (via quote-book) (via theblankpage) (via commanderspock, kari-shma) (via sulu)
