“The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall, nations perish, civilizations grow old and die out, and after an era new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on, still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts of the heart of men centuries dead.”
― Clarence Day Jr.

“The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul--BOOKS.”
― Emily Dickinson

“De liefde tussen mensen loopt zelden synchroon. Mensen vinden elkaar op verkeerde momenten, overtreden wetten en regels om de feiten alsnog naar hun hand te zetten, bagatelliseren de gevolgen van ontrouw, ontkennen de overmijdelijke pijn waarmee afscheid gepaard gaat.”
― Josha Zwaan, Zeevonk

“Heart, we will forget him,

You and I, tonight!

You must forget the warmth he gave,

I will forget the light.”
― Emily Dickinson
