Mary Elizabeth Counselman
“Nada, decididamente, cuando contemplaba aquellos magníficos volúmenes, nada podía compararse con tanta belleza. Más aún cuando pensaba que cada una de aquellas portadas de cuero envolvía la personalidad de una obra. Una personalidad eterna, inmutable, fiel, lo cual era imposible de decir de los hombres”
Mary Elizabeth Counselman

Gustave Flaubert
“Antes de casarse, Emma se había creído enamorada; pero como la felicidad que hubiera debido resultar de aquel amor no había llegado, pensó que necesariamente debía de haberse equivocado. Y trataba de averiguar qué significaban exactamente en la vida las palabras 'dicha', 'pasión' y 'embriaguez', que tan hermosas le habían parecido en los libros”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

François Mauriac
“Je connais mon coeur, ce coeur, ce nœud de vipères: etoufflé sous elles, saturé de leur venin, il continue de battre au-dessous de ce grouillement. Ce nœud de vipères qu'il est impossible de dénouer, qu'il faudrait trancher d'un coup de couteau, d'un coup de glaive: "Je ne suis pas venu apporter la paix mais le glaive”
Mauriac, François

Carl Sagan
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."

[Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980)]”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Virginia Woolf
“Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces.”
Virginia Woolf, Orlando
