• ""For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul whose progeny they are." - John Milton “The memory of this experience will fade and you will eventually die. I’m sorry, I’m so very, very sorry.” - Jonas Nobel "Her philosophy of life was that she might die at any moment. The tragedy, she said, was that she didn't." - Marla Singer (Fight Club)"
