Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Jeanette Winterson
“Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.

Jeanette Winterson
