“He escrito alguna vez que una biblioteca no es un almacén de libros leídos, sino una herramienta, un refugio y un proyecto de vida. Contiene lo que te educó e incluso cambió el carácter, lo que ayuda a comprender el mundo, lo que consuela y protege, lo que entretiene o divierte, lo que aún esperas conocer si vives para que ocurra. Causa melancolía, cuando llegas a una edad, comprender que muchos de esos libros que tienes cerca, que te acompañan a la espera de su oportunidad, quizá no llegues a leerlos nunca. Pero son las reglas. Lo importante es que estén ahí, arropándote como amigos a los que recurrir en caso necesario.”

That was why.”

Graceful as a stalking tiger, the big, beautiful, scary man dropped into a crouch on the ground before her, his dark eyes glinting in the shadowy night. They knelt mere inches apart.

"Huh?" Chloe gaped.
"No questions," he hissed. He shook his head violently, as if trying to scatter something from it.”

Did it not symbolize the eternal, unvarying triumph of Good over Evil? The huge face gazed back at him, full of calm power. White always mates.”

Michelle noticed it too. And physically, Jacob had stopped growing.”

This cohort is the Blair Bulge.' 'So basically, we've become too smart for marriage.' 'Precisely' he said.”
