“It is a foolish man who thinks stories do not matter—when in the end, they may be all that matter and all the forever we’ll ever know. So, shouldn’t you hear our story?”
― Lynda Rutledge, West With Giraffes

“When you love books and live with them daily, it’s tempting to believe they’re the answer. That whatever the crisis—war, pandemic, social delamination—books will be our lanterns and compasses, our balls of string leading out of the labyrinth. I think all this is true, and moreover that these primitive bundles of ragstock and ink still pulse with curious music, but twenty years on it’s plain that their greatest power is to move us toward each other. Who are you, reader? If you’re familiar, we smile and relax. If we are strangers, then these are charged and perilous moments, when the filament glows and we become synapses—with luck, a bridge flickers into being.”
