People shut their eyes to a distant tragedy saying that there’s nothing they could do, yet they didn’t stand up for one happening nearby either because they are too terrified. Most people could feel but didn’t act. They said they sympathized, but easily forgot. They way I see it, that was not real. I didn’t want to live like that.

I wanted to read between the lines. I wanted to be someone who truly understood the meaning of an author’s words. I wanted to know more people, to be able to engage in deep conversations, and to learn what it was to be human.
From what I understood, love was an extreme idea. A word that seemed to force something undefinable into the prison of letters. But the word was used so easily, so often. People spoke of love so casually, just to mean the slightest pleasure or thanks.
You are basically a blank canvas. Better to fill it up with good things rather than bad things.
A bookstore is a place densely populated with tens of thousands of authors, dead or living, residing side by side. But books are quite. They remain dead silent until somebody flips open a page. Only then do they spill out their stories, calmly and thoroughly, just enough at a time for me to handle.
