Martin Latham
“I have found time and time again that people's childhood comfort book prefigures, to an almost comical degree which they cannot always see, their adult mission in life.”
Martin Latham, The Bookseller's Tale

Marceline Loridan-Ivens
“Je lis avec mes souvenirs, mes yeux faibles, mes colères, et je relis, je fouille chez moi, puisque dehors m'est devenu indéchiffrable.”
Marceline Loridan-Ivens, L'Amour après
