Jodie Foster Book Quotations

I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.

I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.

When I was growing up, books took me away from my life to a solitary place that didn't feel lonely. They celebrated the outcasts, people who sat on the margins of society contemplating their interiors. . . Books were my cure for a romanticized unhappiness, for the anxiety of impending adulthood. They were all mine, private islands with secret passwords only the worthy could utter.
