“I am no theologian. I would not be surprised, however, if Heaven proved to be a cozy kitchen, where delicious treats appeared in the oven and in the refrigerator whenever you wanted them, and where the cupboards were full of good books.”
“Books everywhere! Each wall was armed with overcrowded yet immaculate shelving. It was barely possible to see paintwork. There were all different styles and sizes of lettering on the spines of the black, the red, the gray, the every-colored books. It was one of the most beautiful things Liesel Meminger had ever seen.
With wonder, she smiled. That such a room existed!”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
"The library is not only a diary of the human race, but marks an act of faith in the continuity of humanity.”
Vartan Gregorian
“It took a bit of popcorn and a library snack bar to make me realize that being a librarian was about more than just giving people information. It was about serving a community. And if the community is hungry for more than just knowledge, then maybe it’s about time to open a snack bar.”
Don’t think you know everything, Father said, just because you’re good with words. They aren’t everything. I try to say the smallest amount possible. Instead of using them indiscriminately I try to conserve them. I’m the only one in this household who recycles them. I say the same thing over & over again, like “Who forgot to turn out the lights? Who forgot to clean up after themselves in the bathroom?” Since you don’t listen I never have to think of other things to say.
“Books can be possessive, can’t they? You’re walking around in a bookstore and a certain one will jump out at you, like it had moved there on its own, just to get your attention. Sometimes what’s inside will change your life, but sometimes you don’t even have to read it. Sometimes it’s a comfort just to have a book around. Many of these books haven’t even had their spines cracked. ‘Why do you buy books you don’t even read?’ our daughter asks us. That’s like asking someone who lives alone why they bought a cat. For company, of course.”
Good night
Close your eyes and just
Sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure whether all of your dreams are pure
My dear don't you worry about a thing
I'll be near to you all night
And through the eveningI'll be by your side So Good night
Close your eyes and just sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure whether all of your dreams are pure
While you slumber in case you
Ever wonder if a summer breeze
Just brushed your cheek
Know it's meAnd Good nightClose your eyes and just
Sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure whether all of your dreams are pure
And Goodnite
close your eyes and just sleep tight
ill lie awake and watch you dream
to be sure that all of your dreams are pure
