More quotes by Alberto Manguel, The Library at Night

"I like to imagine that, on the day after my last, my library and I will crumble together, so that even when I am no more I'll still be with my books."
"If justice takes place, there may be hope, even in the face of a seemingly capricious divinity."
"One book calls to another unexpectedly, creating alliances across different cultures and centuries."
"I have no feelings of guilt regarding the books I have not read and perhaps will never read; I know that my books have unlimited patience. They will wait for me till the end of my days."
"My books hold between their covers every story I've ever known and still remember, or have now forgotten, or may one day read; they fill the space around me with ancient and new voices."
