“But I hope I will never have a life that is not surrounded by books, by books that are bound in paper and cloth and glue, such perishable things for ideas that have lasted thousands of years, or just since the most recent Harry Potter. I hope I am always walled in by the very weight and breadth and clumsy, inefficient, antiquated bulk of them, hope that I spend my last days on this Earth arranging and rearranging them on thrones of good, honest pine, oak, and mahogany, because they just feel good in my hands, because I just like to look at their covers, and dream of the promose of the great stories inside.”

“You're not the kind of girl who'd be in a place like this at a time like this. Not the kind of girl who'd sit next to a guy who's the kind of guy who'd be in Bright Lights, Big City II and be so [spaced out/coked up/polypharmaceutically prepositioned/ (Add/delete as appropriate)] that he thinks he's the kind of guy who'd be in a pastiche of Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler. It was pre-assigned seating.”

“Hören Sie, Corso: Es gibt keine unschuldigen Leser. Wir alle übertragen unsere persönlichen Perversitäten auf die Texte, die wir lesen. Ein Leser ist die Summe dessen, was er vorher gelesen und im Fernsehen und Kino gesehen hat. Zu den Anhaltspunkten, die der Autor gibt, wird der Leser immer noch seine eigenen hinzufügen. Und genau hier lauert die Gefahr: Das Übermaß an Literaturkenntnissen könnte auch Sie dazu verleitet haben, sich ein falsches oder irreales Bild von Ihrem Gegner zu machen.”
