“...a book is a delicate friend, a white bird, an exquisite being, afraid of water.

Darling things! Afraid of water, of fire, They shiver in the wind. Clumsy, crude human fingers leave bruises on them that'll never fade! Never!

Some underline things in ink!

Some even tear pages out! ”
― Tatyana Tolstaya, The Slynx
