"Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens."
"Few things are more deceptive than memories."
"Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you."
"In the shop we buy and sell them, but in truth books have no owner. Every book you see here has been somebody’s best friend."
"I was raised among books, making invisible friends in pages that seemed cast from dust and whose smell I carry on my hands to this day."
"The moment you stop to think about whether you love someone, you've already stopped loving that person forever."
