"The act of writing is an act of resistance, a way to reclaim our voices and our stories."
I don’t write for an audience. I write for myself.
"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."
