“One of the many gifts that books give readers is a connection to each other. When we share an affection for a writer, an author or a story, we also have a better understanding of people unlike ourselves. Books cultivate empathy.”
"From an early age, books were my constant companions and my local library, a place I could find a new friend on every shelf."
- Sarah Jessica Parker

"[We] tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to get pregnant, but it just was not [meant] to be the conventional way. Meeting your children [through surrogacy] rather than giving birth to them, it’s suspended animation. The gestational experience is gone. It’s as if everything else disappears for a moment and the world goes silent."
- Sarah Jessica Parker
