Those who are coming from the gutters know that from time to time a piece of us will break off and float back to the floor from whence it came. Wealth can gray your eyes at the edges, money does not make you hover above human qualities, you are only a flawed being with much material gain.

Those who spend the greater part of their time in reading or writing books are, of course, apt to take rather particular notice of accumulations of books when they come across them.

To je zabluda. Knjiga ne može da zameni svet. To je nemogućno. U životu sve ima svoj smisao i svoj zadatak koji ne mogu bez ostatka biti ispunjeni nečim drugim. Nije mogućno, na primer, proživeti nešto posredstvom nekog zamenika. Tako je i sa svetom i knjigom. Pokušavamo da život zatvorimo u knjige kao pticu pevačicu u kavez. Ali, u tome ne uspevamo. Naprotiv! Čovek od knjiških apstrakcija ne izgrađuje ništa drugo nego sistem u vidu kaveza za sebe.

To me, many of what seemed to be Bible contradictions only pointed to the grace of Christ. It is not so much a rule book on how to be holy as it is a prophecy of the One who can make you holy. In this, I see God as the least bigoted of all in existence: While men always, in their hearts, delight in vengeance for being wronged, God is the only Being who wants to free you from the penalty of His own laws.

Tonight I will dream of a better tomorrow, but today I will awake with a vision more ambitious than yesterday.

To put a city in a book, to put the world on one sheet of paper -- maps are the most condensed humanized spaces of all...They make the landscape fit indoors, make us masters of sights we can't see and spaces we can't cover.

Turning a manuscript into a book is easy; getting the manuscript ready to become a book is hard.

Tornare a Derry. Perché avevamo promesso, mi ha detto, ed è vero. Abbiamo promesso. Tutto noi. Da ragazzi. Nel ruscello che attraversa i Barren, tenendoci per mano in circolo, dopo che ci eravamo tagliati i palmi con un pezzo di vetro. Sembravamo un gruppo di ragazzini che giocano ai fratelli di sangue, solo che si faceva sul serio.

To Savor The Scene, A Book, or A Friend.

Tout le monde a des choses à dire sur les femmes, les hommes, les flics, les assassins. Nous généralisons à partir de notre propre expérience, de ce qui nous arrange, de ce que l'on peut comprendre avec les maigres moyens de nos réseaux neuronaux et suivant la perspective de notre vision. C'est une facilité qui permet de penser rapidement, de juger et de se positionner. Cela n'a pas de valeur en soi, ce sont des signaux, des petits drapeaux que chacun agite. Et tout le monde défend la vérité de ses avantages, de son sexe, de sa fortune.

Un giorno il mio padre-vampiro acquisito mi prese da parte, mise un braccio attorno alle mie spalle e disse: «In te è fin troppo evidente il fascino della tenebra, figlio mio. Attiri gli esseri viventi come la luce attira le falene, ma sta’ attento. Ciò che provoca desiderio, provoca anche invidia. Potresti trovarti a dover gestire situazioni spiacevoli più spesso di quanto tu voglia. E non dimenticare mai che non è l’attenzione sulla nostra diversità che desideriamo conquistare.» "Domiziano

Un libro leído a medias es una aventura amorosa incompleta.

Un livre est un peu de silence entre les mains du lecteur. Celui qui écrit calme. Celui qui le lit ne rompt pas le silence.

Until then I had thought each book spoke of the things, human or divine, that lie outside books. Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books: it is as if they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries -old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those who had produced them or had been their conveyors.

Up to a point, the weight and seriousness of such photographs survive better in a book, where one can look privately, linger over the pictures, without talking. Still, at some moment the book will be closed. The strong emotion will become a transient one.

Use your little grey cells mon ami" (Hercule Poirot in 'The Mysterious Affair At Styles')

Usually, I set one foot in a library and I feel my own internal volume lower. A library is a physical equivalent of a sigh. It's the silence, sure, but it's also the certainty of all those books, the way they stand side by side with their still, calm conviction. It's the reassurance of knowledge in the face of confusion.

Usiangalie nyuma kujutia vitu ulivyovifanya, angalia nyuma kujifunza kutokana na makosa uliyofanya.

Você descobre tudo que precisa saber sobre uma pessoa com a resposta desta pergunta: qual é o seu livro preferido?

Vi sa aldri museum med mindre det var noen utenforstående til stede. Nå er det bare jeg som kan si muleum og skjønne hva det betyr og hvorfor det er et bra ord, men sjarmen med det er borte, eller i hvert fall sterkt redusert, på samme måte som gleden ved mye av det man har delt med andre blir redusert når disse andre faller ned i fly. Jeg kan ikke bruke muleum lenger fordi de jeg brukte det sammen med er borte. Så enkelt er det. Hver eneste dag gjør og sier mennesker ting som forsvinner når de selv forsvinner.

We all fight for money, some for power, but most of all for love. But me, I fight to become a champion.

Walking into a bookshop is a depressing thing. It’s not the pretentious twats, browsing books as part of their desirable lifestyle. It’s not the scrubby members of staff serving at the counter: the pseudo-hippies and fucking misfits. It’s not the stink of coffee wafting out from somewhere in the building, a concession to the cult of the coffee bean. No, it’s the books. I could ignore the other shit, decide that maybe it didn’t matter too much, that when consumerism meets culture, the result is always going to attract wankers and everything that goes with them. But the books, no, they’re what make your stomach sink and that feeling of dark syrup on the brain descend. Look around you, look at the shelves upon shelves of books – for years, the vessels of all knowledge. We’re part of the new world now, but books persist. Cheap biographies, pulp fiction; glossy covers hiding inadequate sentiments. Walk in and you’re surrounded by this shit – to every side a reminder that we don’t want stimulation anymore, we want sedation. Fight your way through the celebrity memoirs, pornographic cook books, and cheap thrills that satisfy most and you get to the second wave of vomit-inducing product: offerings for the inspired and arty. Matte poetry books, classics, the finest culture can provide packaged and wedged into trendy coverings, kidding you that you’re buying a fashion accessory, not a book. But hey, if you can stomach a trip further into the shop, you hit on the meatier stuff – history, science, economics – provided they can stick ‘pop.’ in front of it, they’ll stock it. Pop. psychology, pop. art, pop. life. It’s the new world – we don’t want serious anymore, we want nuggets of almost-useful information. Books are the past, they’re on the out. Information is digital now; bookshops, they’re somewhere between gallery and museum.

Walk with me now into this very bright night, and revere with me in silence what must be God-given and what is surely God-taken.
