“And that’s why books are never going to die. It’s impossible. It’s the only time we really go into the mind of a stranger, and we find our common humanity doing this. So the book doesn’t only belong to the writer, it belongs to the reader as well, and then together you make it what it is.”

Paul Auster.

The perfect expression of my own thoughts and feelings regarding the acts of writing and reading. This is one of the many reasons why books  are so important to me.

The Name of a Bird.

A favouite quote from a remarkable man…

“You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you’re finished, you’ll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird… So let’s look at the bird and see what it’s doing — that’s what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.”

Richard Feynman
