“Biblioteki są zapisami naszych czytelniczych porażek. Jak mało w nich książek, które naprawdę nam się podobały. Jeszcze mniej takich, które podobają się nam przy kolejnej lekturze. Większość to pamiątki po ludziach, którymi chcieliśmy być. Których udawaliśmy. Których braliśmy za siebie.”

“Books were cities I'd never visited, filled with pillars of great thoughts and streets of phrases, mazes of abstruse sentence structures and alleys of complicated syllables. They were stores that displayed a wide range of things, punctuation twinkling like the crest of a venerable family, sentences breathing peacefully, words whispering.”

“Her seven-year-old self had decided that stealing books was morally bankrupt, but since the books hadn’t actually left the library—they’d merely been relocated—it wasn’t technically stealing.
