“A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful.

I just remember the joy of the book, the beauty of the binding. The smelling of the interior. Happy."

“I am still drunk that you were here,
and you were mine.
And once again I stretch my hand out
for that wine;
As your drunk eyes could not bestir
themselves, I too
Can’t move; as you love wine, I love
the wine that’s you;”
