“Suppose within each book there is another book, and within every letter on every page another volume constantly unfolding; but these volumes take no space on the desk.

Suppose the human skull were to become capacious, spaces opening inside it, humming chambers like beehives.”
― Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall
