“Elige las palabras y elegirás la calidad de tus recuerdos. Tú decides si es un buen o mal recuerdo. Mejor aún, tú lo transformas. Porque las cosas te suceden; algunas las provocas tú y otras escapan a tu control. Pero hay algo que solo tú controlas: las palabras que eliges para contarlas.Eres tú quien cuenta la historia, tu historia. ¿Y sabes lo mejor de todo? Siempre, siempre estás a tiempo de cambiarla.”

'So, is it dangerous for us or for you?'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean, are you the threat, or are we?”

“Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.”

“So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall.”
― Roald Dahl
