“«Noites há em que sonho com uma biblioteca inteiramente anónima em que os livros não têm títulos nem ostentam autores, formando uma corrente narrativa contínua. Nessa biblioteca, o herói d’O Castelo embarcaria no Pequod, em busca do Santo Graal, acostaria numa ilha deserta e, usando fragmentos dados à costa, reconstruiria a sociedade a partir das suas ruínas, relataria o seu primeiro encontro centenário com o gelo e recordaria, em penoso pormenor, como se recolhia cedo à cama.» — Alberto Manguel”

“It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which,if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
