“I didn't know what it was I was feeling. Then I realized it was seeing someone and knowing immediately that you love him.”
― Elizabeth McCracken, An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination

“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

“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”
― Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“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
