“The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn’t write them again, and wouldn’t want to.”

“I am positive I have a soul; nor can all the books with which materialists have pester’d the world ever convince me of the contrary.”

“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 (1892–1941)
