Nick Hornby
“Is it wrong, wanting to be at home with your record collection? It's not like collecting records is like collecting stamps, or beermats, or antique thimbles. There's a whole world in here, a nicer, dirtier, more violent, more peaceful, more colorful, sleazier, more dangerous, more loving world than the world I live in; there is history, and geography, and poetry, and countless other things I should have studied at school, including music.”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

“Always remember... Yo are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”
Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh

Isabel Allende
“The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.”
Isabel Allende

Nick Hornby
“The best customers are the ones who just have to buy a record on a Saturday, even if there's nothing they really want; unless they go home clutching a flat, square carrier bag, they feel uncomfortable. You can spot the vinyl addicts because after a while they get fed up with the rack they are flicking through, march over to a completely different section of the shop, pull a sleeve out from the middle somewhere, and come over to the counter; this is because they have been making a list of possible purchases in their head ("If I don't find anything in the next five minutes, that blues compilation I saw half an hour ago will have to do"), and suddenly sicken themselves with the amount of time they have wasted looking for something they don't really want.”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

Fredrik Backman
“If you can be heard then you exist.”
