Libraries really are wonderful. They're better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts.

It doesn't matter. I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books.

You know what I'd love to read? A Dialogue between Bron and Shevek and Socrates. Socrates would love it too. I bet he wanted people who argued. You can tell he did, you can tell that's what he loved really, at least in The Symposium.

There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.

I care more about the people in books than the people I see every day.

If I were omnipotent and omnibenevolent I wouldn't be so damn ineffable.
