“The librarian was explaining the benefits of the Dewey decimal system to her junior--benefits that extended to every area of life. It was orderly, like the universe. It had logic. It was dependable. Using it allowed a kind of moral uplift, as one's own chaos was also brought under control.
'Whenever I am troubled,' said the librarian, 'I think about the Dewey decimal system.'
'Then what happens?' asked the junior, rather overawed.
'Then I understand that trouble is just something that has been filed in the wrong place. That is what Jung was explaining of course--as the chaos of our unconscious contents strive to find their rightful place in the index of consciousness.”
― Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

“Let's just say you've got an honest way about you- and a sharper eye than I initially thought." She brushed her fingers over the nearest table. "Not a speck of dust."
"Oh." Cinderella felt little pride from the compliment. "It is my job," was all she said.
"I'm glad you understand that, girl. Though no one told you to reorganize my books."
There was a note of accusation in the duchess's voice, and Cinderella didn't know how to respond. "I apologize, ma'am. I-"
"Most of my attendants arrange them like flowers, by color and size, but you did it by substance and author. You couldn't have done that without reading them."
She swallowed. "I didn't have time to read any, ma'am... but I couldn't resist skimming a few.”
