“Das moralische Gewissen, das von so vielen ungerührt verletzt und von ebenso vielen verschmäht wird, gibt es und hat es immer gegeben, es ist keine Erfindung der Philosophen aus grauer Vorzeit des Quartärs, als die Seele noch kaum mehr war als eine verschwommene Idee. Im Laufe der Zeit, des Zusammenelebens und der genetischen Veränderungen haben wir das Gewissen schließlich in die Farbe des Blutes und das Salz der Tränen getan, und als sei das noch nicht genug, haben wir aus den Augen eine Art nach innen gerichteter Spiegel gemacht, mit dem Ergbenis, dass sie häufig genau das direkt durchblicken lassen, was wir mit Worten hatten verbergen wollen.”

“These days, we've got booksellers in cities, in deserts, and in the middle of a rain forest; we've got travelling bookshops, and bookshops underground. We've got bookshops in barns, in caravans and in converted Victorian railway stations. We've even got booksellers selling books in the middle of a war.
Are bookshops still relevant? They certainly are.
All bookshops are full of stories, and stories want to be heard.”

“Would you like to hear the latest news, that colonel we mentioned earlier has gone blind, It'll be interesting to see what he thinks of that bright idea of his now, He already thought, he shot himself in the head, Now that's what I call a consistent attitude, The army is always ready to set an example.”

“My first port of call was ReadingLasses Bookshop & Café. There aren’t many things in life better than books, tea and cake (if you disagree, I’m afraid we can never be friends), and at ReadingLasses, where you can get all three at the same time, you soon lose any desire to leave.”
