The Dewey Decimal System of Love Quotes

“If you ever suffer from the "Aren't People the Greatest?" syndrome, spend a day working in a library. In fact, that gives me an idea. We have "Bring Your Child to Work Day" and "Spend the Day with a Nurse/Doctor." Why not a national event called "Labouring with a Librarian"? In my zest for alliteration, that sounds like a librarian about to give birth, but you get the gist of what I mean.”

“Women know that we each have our moment. Clothed and out in the world, I was a discreet woman, just the sort you'd imagine behind the reference desk of your local library. But take off my clothes in the safety of my own apartment and I changed into a glittering, gleaming creature with white, silky skin, hair tumbling around my shoulders, and my taut body like the spine of a beautiful book with gold-embossed lettering. Only I saw this other creature and I couldn't pretend that I truly believed in her. She was my fantasy.”
