The Library of Shadows Quotes

“When you love someone, it's like building a library and filling the shelves. It doesn't matter how many years it's been since Austen wrote Emma or Fitzgerald wrote This Side of Paradise. We can still pull them from the bookcases and dive back into the words, the same as they day they were written. All the years and memories are still right there, cataloged inside us.”

“Life, too, wasn't the harsh beam of a fluorescent bulb, on or off. It was a dimmer switch, a candlewick burning down to the quick fading and fading away.”
― Rachel Moore, The Library of Shadows
