quotes

One of the pitfalls of childhood is that you don't necessarily understand what you're going through, and when you reach adulthood it's too late to heal your wounds.

If I had truly discovered an entire world in a single book, how many of the worlds contained in this cemetery had been swallowed up by neglect? I felt surrounded by millions of pages, thousands of souls, and wandering universes falling into the depths of a bottomless abyss, while outside, the human race wandered, conceited in its wisdom, teetering on the brink of a pit of nothingness and oblivion.

I've always considered reading a duty or a charity given to teachers and professors without us knowing its true reason. I was ignorant of the nature of the pleasure that the written word gives us: the pleasure of penetrating the secrets of the soul and surrendering to the whims of the imagination and the mysteries of literary creativity. I acknowledge that this novel is credited with these discoveries.
