"“Be careful in dealing with a man who cares nothing for sensual pleasures, nothing for comfort or praise or promotion, but is simply determined to do what he believed to be right,” a British scholar had warned of Gandhi. “He is a dangerous and uncomfortable enemy because his body which you can always conquer gives you so little purchase of his soul.”" — Nov 22, 2025 04:47AM

"Just got to the start of part3 again.
I read parts 1 and 2 and felt like I wasn't giving the book my full attention so restarted it immediately." — Sep 22, 2025 11:55AM

“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”

“I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.”

“Making money isn't hard in itself... What's hard is to earn it doing something worth devoting one’s life to.”

“As it unfolded, the structure of the story began to
remind me of one of those Russian dolls that contain
innumerable diminishing replicas of itself inside. Step by step the narrative split into a thousand stories, as if it had entered a gallery of mirrors, its identity fragmented into endless reflections. The minutes and hours glided by as in a dream. When the cathedral bells tolled midnight, I barely heard them. Under the warm light cast by the reading lamp, I was plunged into a new world of images and sensations peopled by characters who seemed as real to me as my surroundings. Page after page I let the spell of the story and its world take me over, until the breath of dawn touched my window and my tired eyes slid over the last page. I lay in the bluish half-light with the book on my chest and listened to the murmur of the sleeping city. My eyes began to close, but I resisted. I did not want to lose the story's spell or bid farewell to its characters just yet.”

“The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars.”
― Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
