His library was a fine dark place bricked with books, so anything could happen there and always did. All you had to do was pull a book from the shelf and open it and suddenly the darkness was not so dark anymore.

You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.

I don't need to be vindicated, and I don't want attention.

You don't have to turn on the TV set. You don't have to work on the Internet. It's up to you.

I've been afraid of people playing their life away with too many toys.
