Quotes by Mikita Brottman

“Should he give free reign to his desires, the bibliomaniac can ruin his life along with the lives of his loved ones. He'll often take better care of his books than of his own health; he'll spend more on fiction than he does on food; he'll be more interested in his library than in his relationships, and, since few people are prepared to live in a place where every available surface is covered with piles of books, he'll often find himself alone, perhaps in the company of a neglected and malnourished cat. When he dies, all but forgotten, his body might fester for days before a curious neighbor grows concerned about the smell.”

“The similarities between those who jump into wells, those who are thrown in, and those who lose their footing and fall are very great. The differences are slight.… If the victim was thrown in or fell in accidentally, the hands will be open and the eyes slightly open, and about the person he may have money or other valuables. But, if he was committing suicide, then his eyes will be shut and his hands clenched. There will be no valuables on the body. Generally, when someone deliberately jumps into a well, they will enter feet first. If the body is found to have gone in head first, it is probable that the victim was being chased or was thrown in by others.”
