"A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. So the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion."

It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom.

The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

I don’t run from love, I run from the lack of it.

The best detectives are the ones who never stop asking questions.
