Lois Lowry Quote
The books in his own dwelling were the only books that Jonas had ever seen. He had never known that other books existed. But this room’s walls were completely covered by bookcases, filled, which reached to the ceiling. There must have been hundreds—perhaps thousands—of books, their titles embossed in shiny letters. Jonas stared at them. He couldn’t imagine what the thousands of pages contained.
