Book cover for The Personal Librarian
Each book in the library contained a world of personalities and stories and history. We shared an insatiable curiosity. The deeper we each read, the more we would understand about this world we live in, and the more questions we had.

Douglas Coupland
“Sometimes you accidentally input an extra digit into the year: i.e, 19993 and you add 18,000 years on to *now*, and you realize that the year 19993 will one day exist and that time is a scary thing, indeed.”
Douglas Coupland, Microserfs
tags: life

Arthur C. Clarke
“He felt like a young student again, confronted with all the art and knowledge of mankind. The experience was both exhilarating and depressing; a whole universe lay at his fingertips, but the fraction of it he could explore in an entire lifetime was so negligible that he was sometimes overwhelmed with despair.”
Arthur C. Clarke, Songs of Distant Earth

Michel Faber
“The word troubled her, though. ‘Indispensable.’ It was a word people tended to resort to when dispensability was in the air.”
Michel Faber, Under the Skin

Lev Grossman
“That was one thing about books: once you read them they couldn’t be unread.”
Lev Grossman, The Magician's Land

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“As my story came to a
close I realized that I was
the villain all along.”
Joseph Gordon-Levitt , The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, Vol. 2
