“Perhaps ghosts didn’t haunt places. Perhaps ghosts haunted people.”
― Rebecca Crunden, Haze

“We seldom ever see, or read, or love things as they in themselves really are, nor, for that matter, do we even know our impressions of them as they really are. What matters is knowing what we see when we see other than what lies before us. It is the film we see, the film that breathes essence into otherwise lifeless objects, the film we crave to share with others. What we reach for and what ultimately touches us is the radiance we’ve projected on things, not the things themselves – the envelope, not the letter, the wrapping, not the gift.”
― André Aciman, Alibis: Essays on Elsewhere

“a bookstore is a place densely populated with tens of thousands of authors, dead or living, residing side by side. But books are quiet. They remain dead silent until somebody flips open a page. Only then so they spill out their stories, calmly and thoroughly, just enough at a time for me to handle.”
― Won-pyung Sohn, Almond

“Her first love was like lavender,
delicate and melancholic.”
― Laura Chouette
