“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. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.”
― Jeanette Winterson

“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“They sicken of the calm who know the storm.”
― Dorothy Parker, Sunset Gun: Poems
