Quote by Lola Olufemi

“If we hold commitments and dreams to end violence, we must account for those who perpetrate it without banishment. The scope of our concern must extend beyond ‘I’—the individual person who we imagine exists in isolation—towards that ‘other’ who we imagine is separate from us.”

“Being a bookseller meant helping people find their moments of escape or enlightenment. Helping people fill a void in themselves to find a sense of wholeness and happiness. It could be through discovering new knowledge, being carried away by adventure, or having a good fright over a horror story. It could be something as simple as curing someone of mind-numbing boredom. There was a right book for everyone whenever they needed it. Lizzy wanted to be there for those readers to help them find their way, and as always, books would be her friend and teacher.”

“इन्सानी फितरत है कि अनहोनी सबसे पहले कल्पना लोक से उतर कर हमारे दिमाग पर कब्जा कर लेती है और बहुत जल्दी हम उन ड़रावने विचारों को सच मान लेते हैं ।”

“The Child must have a valuable thing which is called imagination. The child must have a secret world in which I've things that never were. It is necessary that she believe. She must start out by believing in things not of this world. Then when the world becomes too ugly for living in, the child can reach back and live in her imagination. I, myself, even in this day and at my age, have great need of recalling the miraculous lives of the Saints and the great miracles that have come to pass on earth. Only by having these things in my mind can I live beyond what I have to live for.”
