“Once, in my father's bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart.

― Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Shadow of the Wind

“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.”

Ao longo dos séculos, historiadores, estudiosos e escritores praticaram o apagamento movendo mulheres para o segundo plano, deixando completamente de citá-las na narrativa, minimizando seu envolvimento, alterando a ordem dos fatos, diminuindo ou roubando seus trabalhos, limitando-as ao papel de "esposa de" ou "irmã de", entre outros comportamentos”
― Mariana Ribeiro, #QUEROSEREUFRASIA

“The summer wealth of cultivation is over; & the earth is preparing for her time of sleep & slow reproduction.”
