“The patron god of the library is the one who needs it, who claims the necessity of a place of stories and souls and is willing to build it. Sometimes that's the librarians and curators, sometimes that's the storytellers, but sometimes? Sometimes it's just you. You, the reader, who found your wild and winding way to the pages. You have a library inside you, do you not? Stories, told and untold. That is the power of gods.”
― A.J. Hackwith, The God of Lost Words
