"There are some friends you don't meet for twenty years and when you meet them again it's as if no twenty years has happened - you're lucky when that happens. I feel the same about books"
- Norman MacCaig
About this Quote
This quote talks to the power of relationship and literature. It suggests that some friendships are so strong that even after an extended period of time apart, it is as if no time at all has actually passed at all. This is an unique sort of bond that is rare and must be valued. The very same can be stated for books. Even after a long period of time, when you pick up a book you once checked out, it is as if you are transferred back to the time when you first read it. The words and stories still have the same power to move and inspire you as they did before. This quote is a reminder to appreciate the unique relationships we have with our buddies and the books we read.

"I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, 'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince', there were bits in there where I was going, 'God, I would love to do that because it's so good'"
