Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.
- “A book is a loaded gun.”
- “There must be something in books, things we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house.”
- “The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.”
- “So now you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores of the face of life.”
