Book cover for Fima: A Novel
Suddenly he felt disgusted with his linguistic niceties. Gulping down thick slices of bread and jam, sipping his second coffee, he said to himself: When the whole planet has been destroyed by atom bombs or hydrogen bombs, what difference ...more

“Единственото, което имахме в изобилие, бяха книгите. Те бяха навсякъде: от пода до тавана, в коридора, в кухнята, във входното антре, по первазите на прозорците. Хиляди книги, изпълнили всяко кътче в апартамента. Имах чувството, че хората идват и си отиват, раждат се и умират, но книгите са вечни. Като малък мечатех да стана книга. Не писател- хората мряха като мухи, писателите не правеха изключение. Но не и книгите. Колкото и систематично да ги изтребваш, винаги има вероятност някой екземпляр да оцелее и да продължи да се наслаждава на живота от някоя лавица в ъгъла на забравена от Бога библиотека в Рейкявик, Валядолид или Ванкувър".”

Charles Dickens
“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.”
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Daniel Pennac
“We human beings build houses because we're alive but we write books because we're mortal. We live in groups because we're sociable but we read because we know we're alone. Reading offers a kind of companionship that takes no one's place but that no one can replace either. It offers no definitive explanation of our destiny but links us inextricably to life. Its tiny secret links remind us of how paradoxically happy we are to be alive while illuminating how tragically absurd life is.”
Daniel Pennac

Michael Cunningham
“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
Michael Cunningham, The Hours

Daniel Pennac
“We keep quiet about what we read. Our enjoyment of a book remains a jealously guarded secret. Perhaps because there`s no need to talk, or because it takes time to distill what we've read before we can say anything. Silence is our guarantee of intimacy. We might have finished reading but we`re still living
the book.”
Daniel Pennac
