Quote by Soroosh Shahrivar

“She loved the smell of books. She loved everything about books. It was her escape. She traveled all over the world with them. She traveled through time. She had been to Tiananmen Square; she had met Anne Frank; she had met Trayvon Martin. Shoot, she had even been to space.”

“How is it that what is actually present and transpiring is commonly perceived by the common sense and understanding only, is bare and bald, without halo or the blue enamel of intervening air? But let it be past or to come, and it is at once idealized. It is not simply the understanding now, but the imagination, that takes cognizance of it. The imagination requires a long range. It is the faculty of the poet to see present things as if, in this sense, also past and future, as if distant or universally significant.”

'Have a care,' I say, drawing Locke's attention to me for the first time. 'I am sure you would not wish to insult the High King's imagination.' 'Indeed, I'm sure not,' Cardan says in a way that's difficult to interpret.”
