Margaret  Rogerson
“Books, too, had hearts, though they were not the same as people's, and a book's heart could be broken: she had seen it happen before. Grimoires that refused to open, their voices gone silent, or whose ink faded and bled across the pages like tears.”
Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns

“C'est un retour sans joie. Le monde que nous avons laissé derrière nous n'existe plus. L'Indochine française s'est effacée. Le Royaume du Laos a basculé. Une république communiste s'est emparée des terres et des esprits. Nous avons rompu avec ce système-là. Notre pays imaginaire te hante, je le sais. Par mon ignorance, je suis préservée de son emprise. Moi, je n'ai que des hypothèses. Mes fictions claudicantes sont bien inoffensives. Elles ne génèrent aucun regret, aucun sentiment coupable. C'est mon amnésie que tu nommes ingratitude et que tu tentes de mater par ton "toujours une Vietnamienne".
~ p 29”
Loo Hui Phang, L'Imprudence

“It was always wise to be polite to books, whether or not they could hear you.”
Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns

Luciano Canfora
“Pour moi, écrit Pathios, je sais que, souvent, des écrits d'auteurs différents offrent une grande ressemblance et que des écrits de caractère différent remontent à un seul auteur. Car les ressources humaines ne sont pas toujours inaltérables ni immuables, pas plus dans les lettres que dans les autres domaines.”
Luciano Canfora, Il copista come autore

“Les petites choses ont leur importance ; c'est toujours pour elles qu'on se perd.”
Fiodor Dostoïevski
