Just having fun and trying to figure Tumblr out.

breathingbooks: ~Some quotes that are the inspiration for this tumblr ~ Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing. (Harper Lee)I nearly always write, just as I nearly always breathe.(John Steinbeck)When I don’t write, I feel my world shrinking. I feel I am in a prison. I feel I lose my fire and my color. It should be a necessity, as the sea needs to heave, and I call it breathing. (Anaïs Nin)With my eyes closed, I would touch a familiar book and draw its fragrance deep inside me. This was enough to make me happy.(Haruki Murakami) I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.(Carlos Ruiz Zafón)He loved a book because it was a book; he loved its odor, its form, its title. What he loved in a manuscript was its old illegible date, the bizarre and strange Gothic characters, the heavy gilding which loaded its drawings. It was its pages covered with dust — dust of which he breathed the sweet and tender perfume with delight.(Gustave Flaubert) I whispered the thrilling words to myself, then lifted the book to my nose and breathed the ink from its pages. The scent of possibilities.(Kate Morton) I *love* that there is a Tumblr devoted to quotes and photos of people smelling books.

~Some quotes that are the inspiration for this tumblr ~

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing. (Harper Lee)

I nearly always write, just as I nearly always breathe.
(John Steinbeck)

When I don’t write, I feel my world shrinking. I feel I am in a prison. I feel I lose my fire and my color. It should be a necessity, as the sea needs to heave, and I call it breathing.
(Anaïs Nin)

With my eyes closed, I would touch a familiar book and draw its fragrance deep inside me. This was enough to make me happy.
(Haruki Murakami)

I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.
(Carlos Ruiz Zafón)

He loved a book because it was a book; he loved its odor, its form, its title. What he loved in a manuscript was its old illegible date, the bizarre and strange Gothic characters, the heavy gilding which loaded its drawings. It was its pages covered with dust — dust of which he breathed the sweet and tender perfume with delight.
(Gustave Flaubert)

I whispered the thrilling words to myself, then lifted the book to my nose and breathed the ink from its pages. The scent of possibilities.
(Kate Morton)


I *love* that there is a Tumblr devoted to quotes and photos of people smelling books.
