“Telling yourself that something does not matter is one of the loneliest things you can do, because you only say it, of course, about things that matter very much. But often, and this is the lonely part, they only matter to you.”
― Lemony Snicket, Poison for Breakfast

“A proper library has at least one fantastic librarian, preferably more than one, so if the fantastic librarian goes out to lunch or falls into a tar pit, there will be a spare.”

“Άκρα σιγή και ησυχία επεκράτησεν εντός του σκοτεινού θαλάμου,
μετά τον τελευταίον βήχα και τον κλαυθμυρισμόν του θυγατρίου, τα οποία τόσον αποτόμως διεκόπησαν. Η Φραγκογιαννού είχε κύψει το πρόσωπόν της, και είχε στηρίξει με τας δύο χείρας το μέτωπον, και είχε παύσει να σκέπτεται.
Της εφαίνετο ότι δεν έζη πλέον. Ούτε η πνοή της ηκούετο. Πας θόρυβος είχε παύσει. Ούτε φλοξ έβρεμεν εις την εστίαν, ούτε βόμβος ηκούετο, και το ημίκαυστον φιτίλιον του λύχνου έφεγγε θλιβερώς. Η μικρά κανδήλα προ πολλού είχε σβήσει εις το εικονοστάσιον, και αι μορφαί των αγίων δεν εφαίνοντο πλέον.”
― Alexandros Papadiamantis, Η φόνισσα
