Quote by lima barreto

“Κουβάλησε δυο δυο, τέσσερα τέσσερα, έξι έξι, τα βιβλία του πατέρα και του παππού του με τελετουργικό τρόπο στην αυλή του σπιτιού. Έφτιαξε σορούς εδώ και εκεί, τα περιέχυσε με πετρέλαιο με μεγάλη προσοχή και τα έβαλε φωτιά. Στην αρχή ο μάυρος καπνός της κηροζίνης δεν άφηνε τις φλόγες να ξεχωρίσουν, αλλά μετά από λίγο, όσο περνούσε η ώρα, άρχισαν να λάμπουν νικηφόρα, σε έντονο κίτρινο χρώμα, στο χρώμα που ο λαός λέει πως είναι το χρώμα της απελπισίας.”

“A book is a world constructed with words. But the true miracle in that is how readers enter this world upon opening the book, and then the world remains within the reader after closing it. That miracle is both amazing and terrifying. Indeed, you are what you read. So choose wisely the worlds you get in and the worlds you let in. There is not a hammer that can destroy what is built by the pen.”

“The knowledge that he couldn't possibly read all the books on offer put a peculiar pressure on choosing his next read. There must be diamonds out there, the best book in a thousand, the best book in a million, and surely he didn't want to waste his time reading one that was merely adequate when he could be reading one of those diamonds?

“Let me tell you about my favorite day of the month, properly dubbed my A.D.I.B. (stands for All Day In Bed). On that designated day, I will buy candy, chocolates and order any fast food meal of my choosing. I will then spend the rest of my A.D.I.B. in my pajamas on the couch, watching a movie marathon. I’ll watch the corniest chick flicks, the most romantic of dramas, and the cheesiest comedies. I will also pour myself a relaxing hot bubble bath with aromatherapy beads while reading a magazine. That entire day, I am off the grid and completely unplugged!”
