Quote of the Day (Chloe Fox, on Community Spirit and Independent Bookstores)

“Community is what so many of us are lacking in our lives. Our yearning for it is what sends us in our droves to music festivals and overpriced theatres. It's what we thought we'd found on social media and have since realised we didn't. And, above all else, it's what independent bookshops thrive on.”— English author, journalist, and new bookstore owner Chloe Fox, “The Best, Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done,” The Financial Times, Dec. 20, 2025 (“How To Spend It” supplement)
