About My Library

"It is often much harder to get rid of books than it is to acquire them. They stick to us in that pact of need and oblivion we make with them, witnesses to a moment in our lives we will never see again... The truth is that in the end, the size of a library does matter. We lay the books out for inspection like a huge exposed brain, offering miserable excuses and feigned modesty... There is a moment, however, when we have accumulated so many books that they cross an invisible line, and what was once a sense of pride becomes a burden, because from now on space will always be a problem." [Carlos María Dominguez, The House of Paper]

“To be a book-collector is to combine the worst characteristics of a dope fiend with those of a miser.”
[Robertson Davies]

"Lo! my soul's chin recedes, soft to the touch / As half-churn'd butter." [Max Beerbohm, Seven Men]
