“I’ve always felt safe in bookshops. It’s as though the stories inside them can rescue me from myself and the rest of the world.”

“Books changed me and I think that they are, more than anything else, one of the best tools we can use to learn, reflect on, and truly understand the world we are living in. They are a bridge between languages, continents, and people. A book will accompany you and will stay with you, it will mark you like nothing else. You will go back to it, quote it, argue about it. You will borrow one and lend one. The written word, in my opinion, is therefore more effective and long lasting than the spoken one as a tool for change.”
- Frank Barat, in the Introduction to ‘On Palestine’ by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé

I'm almost never angry but all the hurt I've bottled inside me make me look like I'm someone with rage.

The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.
Eric, Terry Prachett

I am just a simple girl, take me to a bookstore and I will tell you about each book I have read, about my tbr, about the genres, and will probably give you 100+ recommendations even if you haven't asked for.

The most beautiful things in life are not things. They're people and places and memories and pictures. They're feelings and moments and smiles and laughter.
