“I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue.

Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.”
― Carl Sagan

“Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.”

“Learn to listen! I beg of you. Pretend you are a dog like me and listen to other people rather than steal their stories.”
