“Let the prison library not only meet the recognized needs of the men, but inspire them in further efforts. The reading habit once firmly fixed is among the best safeguards for any man.”
Virginia Reeves, Work Like Any Other

“Marie’s father was a farmer—yes, always—but he was also a reader. These were his two occupations, he told me. “Are you a reader, son?â€� he asked early. “Yes, sir.â€� “That’s good. A heap of books is the only foundation a man needs.”
Virginia Reeves, Work Like Any Other

“We are born with some things in our veins, coal for my father and farming for Marie’s and a deep electrical current for me. My father’s draw started from need, I suppose, and Marie’s father’s from land, and mine from glowing Birmingham streetlamps. I had stared at those bulbs the first time I saw them, the streets lit by a force greater than any I’d known—bigger than me, bigger than my father, bigger than his tunnels even.”
Virginia Reeves, Work Like Any Other
