What Is Life If Not The Shadow

Every Great Thinker Is Someone Else's Moron.

We Have A Limit, A Very Discouraging, Humiliating Limit: Death.

A Book Is A Fragile Creature, It Suffers The Wear Of Time, It Fears Rodents, The Elements And Clumsy Hands. So The Librarian Protects The Books Not Only Against Mankind But Also Against Nature And Devotes His Life To This War With The Forces Of Oblivion.

I Believe That What We Become Depends On What Our Fathers Teach Us At Odd Moments, When They Aren't Trying To Teach Us. We Are Formed By Little Scraps Of Wisdom.

We Live For Books. A Sweet Mission In This World Dominated By Disorder And Decay.
