in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers.../Women and their Passion for Books by

“One summer morning at sunrise a long time ago
I met a little girl with a book under her arm.
I asked her why she was out so early and
she answered that there were too many books and
far too little time. And there she was absolutely right.”
— Tove Jansson

MARINA TSVETAEVA ~ ON BOOKS

in Women and their Passion for Books by

“There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
~Marina Tsvetaeva
