Katherine Reay quotes:

My new favorite title is How Jane Austen Ruined My Life. I don't have the courage to read it, though. I'm afraid to discover she's ruined mine as well.

People forget your face after a book tour or an infrequent appearance on Letterman, but put your face on your books and you're handing them your life. They presume to know what you think or who you are.

How can I not believe that there is a God who exists and loves, when the people before me are infused with that love and pour it out daily?

The day we forget the horror, Sam, we will repeat it. Never forget your past. It will make you less human, less than human.
