Quote by Marceline Loridan-Ivens

“Je construisais une bibliothèque imaginaire devant moi, un peu comme on pave son chemin. En me déportant, on m'avait aussi arrachée à l'école, et je préférais me pencher sur ce que je n'avais pas appris que sur ce que j'avais vécu.”

“Over the last year, Malachi has changed from a boy to a young man. For seventeen, he looks twenty with a chiseled jaw, long lashes, and bright, diamond-like blue eyes. He has muscles that are starting to become noticeable through his clothes, and he loves to run. He once signed to me that it helps clear his head.Sometimes, we run together. We’ll listen to the same song—usually Taylor Swift if I choose, or Bad Omens if he does—then we’ll sit by the lake and watch the sunrise before we go home and get ready for school.All my friends want to kiss him. He’s the quiet, mysterious Malachi Vize that everyone wants a piece of. It sickens me—especially when they go into detail in the group chat about things I’d rather not read. He’s not popular—he’s the “silent weirdo,” yet they say things behind his back because they’re too scared to say anything to his face.”

“It’s enough to know that a good book has more than one skin, and should be a building with several storeys. Just having a ground floor isn’t enough for a book. It’s fine for civil engineering, and comfortable for anyone who dislikes stairs, and useful for those who can’t cope with stairs at all, but literature needs storeys to be piled one on top of the other. Stairs and staircases, with words above and words below.”

“They worm their way into our heads and touch us in a way that's more personal than any other school subject. Their lessons will sit quietly within us for years, until something awakens then: a particular set of experiences, a story in the news, maybe a personal crisis. When we reread them as adults, they can resonate with us in ways that we never dreamed of when we first met them.”
