    Zoran Živković
    “Si sa benissimo che i libri divorano spazio senza pietà. Non ci si può difendere. Per quanto spazio gli si offra, a loro non basta mai. Prima prendono possesso delle pareti e poi continuano a espandersi ovunque riescano. Soltanto il soffitto viene risparmiato. Ne arrivano sempre di nuovi, e voi non avete cuore di sbarazzarvi di nessuno di quelli vecchi. E così, pian pianino, di nascosto, i volumi spingono fuori tutto il resto. Come ghiacciai.”
