“I buy books I can't read for a few reasons. For one thing, each copy I add to my collection is a copy that no one else can read. The fewer people reading books, the better off the world will be."

Every book," I said, "is potentially a rattlesnake in your hands.”
― Dean Koontz, Quicksilver

“Mort d'un coq, but you annoy me, you vex me, you anger and enrage me- me, I could twist your so stupid neck!
