Lauren Oliver, on books:
Some of them are webs; you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners.
Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self-contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch.
And some of them – the best ones – are doors.
