Quote by David Clement-Davies

“know that without night there is no day; without lies, no truth;without despair,no hope. Beware above all of hate, but call to its opposite too. For all things have an opposite and, if you choose it, with will and care, you may turn one thing into its reflection.”

Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”
