“In a library, no empty shelf remains empty for long.”
― Alberto Manguel, The Library at Night

“Readers, censors know, are defined by the books they read.”
― Alberto Manguel, The Library at Night

“Books may not change our suffering, books may not protect us from evil, books may not tell us what is good or what is beautiful, and they will certainly not shield us from the common fate of the grave. But books grant us myriad possibilities: the possibility of change, the possibility of illumination.”
― Alberto Manguel

“At night, here in the library, the ghosts have voices.”
― Alberto Manguel, The Library at Night
