By the time you are old enough to pick up a book like this one, you have learned it: the world is not your world, and you don’t have another. (p.107)

Calling a book "Young Adult" is just a fancy way of saying the book is censored. People used to say they like to read books about romance, true crime, comedy, horror or science fiction. But these days people simply say they like to read "Young Adult" books. As if that were a topic. But that's the thing: Young Adult is not a topic, it's a level of censorship. Saying "I like Young Adult books" is just another way of saying "I like books that have been dumbed down for children. I like books with no big words and no difficult abstract concepts. Nothing that will strain my brain." People like to brag that they used to start reading at an early age, as if that were a badge of honor, a sign of intelligence. Nobody brags about when they started to watch TV. But books are being dumbed down so much these days, it's really not a sign of great intelligence when you're a grown up and you struggle your way through Green Eggs and Ham.

Can you imagine life without a book?

Carrie felt this as a personal reproof. She read "Dora Thorne," or had a great deal in the past. It seemed only fair to her, but she supposed that people thought it very fine.

She looked down, and for the first time felt the pain of not understanding.

Celui-là sent la mangue. Encore une histoire avec plus de noyau que de chair.

Ce te înnebunește nu vine din tine. Nici din mintea, nici din sufletul tău. Ce te înnebunește te înconjoară. Rigiditatea. O rigiditate care te apasă, te sufocă și te mistuie între cer și pământ. Între est și vest. Între lumină și întuneric. Între profan și sfânt. Limite. Mintea ta este vie și mai presus de propria-i viață este nelimitată. Asta dacă nu o pui într-o cutie ca o casă cu pereți de beton fără ferestre sau... ca o lume a regulilor. Nebunia vine din limitarea minții tale. A vieții tale. Încătușarea propriei tale existențe. Este o consecință, nimic mai mult. Nebunia nu poate supraviețui în libertate, doar în cutii. În cutii ca acestea în care suntem cu toții, ca într-un gigant cub rubik. Nebunia este gândirea dincolo de limite iar nebunii sunt cei care reușesc să evadeze din cutii. Restul, prizonierii, sunt normali, acceptați și mai mult decât atât... sunt atotștiutori fără a ști defapt nimic. Totul este pe dos. Toată logica societății este irațională, falsă, nebună! Normalitatea nu se definește prin mulțimi ci prin indivizi, prin universurile individuale create cu atâta migală de universul desăvârșit.", Răspunsul Întunericului de Irina Maria Tracy

Couldn't I try...Naturally, it wouldn't be a question of a tune...But couldn't I in another medium?...It would have to be a book: I don't know how to do anything else. But not a history book: history talks about what has existed - an existent can never justify the existence of another existent. My mistake was to try to resuscitate Monsieur de Rollebon. Another kind of book. I don't quite know which kind - but you would have to guess, behind the printed words, behind the pages, something which didn't exist, which was above existence. The sort of story, for example, which could never happen, an adventure. It would have to be beautiful and hard as steel and make people ashamed of their existence. I am going, I feel irresolute. I dare not make a decision. If I were sure that I had talent...but I have never, never written anything of that sort; historical articles, yes - if you could call them that. A book. A novel. And there would be people who would read this novel and who would say: 'It was Antoine Roquentin who wrote it, he was a red-headed fellow who hung about in cafés', and they would think that about my life as I think about the life of the Negress: as about something precious and almost legendary. A book. Naturally, at first it would only be a tedious, tiring job, it wouldn't prevent me from existing or from feeling that I exist. But a time would have to come when the book would be written, would be behind me, and I think that a little of its light would fall over my past. Then, through it, I might be able to recall my life without repugnance. Perhaps one day, thinking about this very moment, about this dismal moment at which I am waiting, round-shouldered, for it to be time to get on the train, perhaps I might feel my heart beat faster and say to myself: 'It was on that day, at that moment that it all started.' And I might succeed - in the past, simply in the past - in accepting myself.

Courage is the ability to execute tasks and assignments without fear or intimidation.

Crime isn't pretty, only fashionably dressed.

Creía que el secreto de la felicidad consistía en concentrarse en lo que uno tenía a su alrededor" -Sidney Chambers and the shadow of death

Customer: This book has a couple of tears to some of the pages. Me: Yes, unfortunately some of the older books haven’t had as much love as they should have done from previous owners. Customer: So, will you lower the price? It says here it’s £20. Me: I’m sorry but we take into account the condition of the books when we price them; if that book was in a better condition, it would be worth a lot more than £20. Customer: Well, you can’t have taken this tear here into account *points to page* or this one here *points to another page* because my son did those two minutes ago. Me: So, the book is now more damaged than it was before, because of your son? Customer: Yes. Exactly. So will you lower the price?

Customer: Forgotten my glasses, could you read the beginning of this book to me to see if I like it?

I was actually starting to worry that… Wait. Is she…” “Unfortunately yes,” I said, “Marcie was found in her apartment late last night uh… no longer alive.” My bedside manner has never been my strong suit. Dr. Taggart looked distressed and began to ramble incoherently for a minute. I let him work through it though, I figured it was his way of grieving. I wouldn't have even paid attention to it except for the fact that it was kind of goofily, ineptly… well, poignant: "Oh, uh, Oh my God. That's terrible. I uh… I hope she didn't have any family. I mean, I don't hope she didn't have any family, what I mean is, if she uh… if she didn't have any family then there would be nobody to get all bummed out about this and uh… you know, when something like this happens, you always think about the poor, heartbroken family, so uh… if she doesn't have any family then uh… the bright side would be that nobody would, you know, have to be all bummed out." Hm. I guess I never thought of it that way. Awkward wording aside, he's kind of got a point there.

Does this story have a happy ending?" Bobby asked. "There is no such thing as an ending," she said. "Good things come out of bad things and bad things come out of good things, but it always continues. It's as in life. Books are life. There is just the part you read. They start before that.
