“ It doesn't matter. I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books. ”
There isn't an end point to excellence where you have it and you can stop. Being your best self means keeping on trying.
~ Jo Walton
If I were omnipotent and omnibenevolent I wouldn't be so damn ineffable.
I'm only fifteen. I'm not sure I ever want to get married. I'm neither messing around while waiting nor looking for some real thing. What I want is much more complicated. I want somebody to talk about books, who would be my friend, and why couldn't we have sex as well if we wanted to? (And used contraception.) I'm not looking for romance. Lord Peter and Harriet would seem a pretty good model to me. I wonder if Wim has read Sayers?
If you love books enough, books will love you back.
