Gary Paulsen Quotes • “I read like a wolf eats. I read myself to sleep every night. ” • “If books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the rest that can’t be in books. The book needs you. ” • “I owe everything I am and everything I will ever be to books. ”
