“There are people who read books, and then there are people who define their lives by the books they have read and by the books they will read. Their relationship with books is not one of gleaning information and then discarding. It is a friendship that is more akin to, if it were possible, putting an arm around the book and whispering to it, giggling and chuckling with shared knowledge, shared experiences. When you see someone grasp a book to their breast and close their eyes or hold the book to their nose and inhale the scent of the book, they are gently mad, but also they are not just a reader of books, but a lover of books.”
― Jeffrey Keeten

“Either the world is so tiny or we are so enormous, in any case we fill it completely.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“But that was the way life worked. Every human being was the result of a million different factors mixing together -- one of a million sperm arriving at the egg at exactly a certain time; even a millisecond off, and another entirely different person would result. Good things and bad--every friendship and romance formed, every accident, every illness--resulted from the conspiracy of hundreds of little things, in and of themselves inconsequential.”
― Angie Kim, Miracle Creek

“ثم يلتفتان فى لحظة التقاط للانفاس إلى الوراء.. ويقيسان المسافة من البداية الصعبة .. إلى نقطة الأمان .. فيجدانها طويلة وشاقة وممتعة وعامرة بالحب والكفاح والعطف المتبادل بينهما”
