“Rain slips through your fingers as easily as words blow away in the wind, and yet it has the power to destroy your whole world.”
― Karen Maitland, Company of Liars

“People think librarians are unromantic, unimaginative. This is not true. We are people whose dreams run in particular ways. Ask a mountain climber what he feels when he sees a mountain; a lion tamer what goes through his mind when he meets a new lion; a doctor confronted with a beautiful malfunctioning body. The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder.”
― Elizabeth McCracken, The Giant's House

“We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them.”
― John Waters

“The hard thing about death is that nothing ever changes. The hard thing about life is that nothing stays the same.”
― Sue Grafton, J is for Judgment
