“Books, to the reading child, are so much more than books -- they are dreams and knowledge, they are a future and a past.”

“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.”

“That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.”

“Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place
I rejoice that things are as they are and
I renounce the blessed face
And renounce the voice
Because I cannot hope to turn again
Consequently I rejoice, having to construct something
Upon which to rejoice”
