• The world in books seemed so much more alive to me than anything outside. I could see things I'd never seen before. Books and music were my best friends. I had a couple of good friends at school, but never met anyone I could really speak my heart to.

• I began to draw an invisible boundary between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person’s attitude so that they wouldn’t get any closer. I didn’t easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music

• La lectura era como una adicción; leía mientras comía, en el tren, en la cama hasta altas horas de la noche, en la escuela, donde guardaba el libro escondido para poder leer durante la clase. Al poco tiempo me compré un pequeño equipo de música y me pasaba todo el tiempo en mi habitación escuchando discos de jazz. Pero casi no tenía ganas de hablar con nadie de la experiencia que había adquirido con los libros y la música. Me sentía feliz siendo yo y nadie más. En ese sentido se me podría llamar un solitario apilado.

• The world in books seemed so much more alive to me than anything outside. I could see things I'd never seen before. Books and music were my best friends. I had a couple of good friends at school, but never met anyone I could really speak my heart to. We'd just make small talk, play soccer together. When something bothered me, I didn't talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that's just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.

• Señor de la primavera, Padre de la flor, del campo y del fruto, sonríenos en estos días serios, cuando el trabajo es pesado y la fatiga fatigosa; eleva nuestros corazones, oh Dios, hacia las cosas que valen la pena: el sol y la noche, la lluvia que gotea, el canto de los pájaros, los libros y la música, y las voces de nuestros amigos. Eleva nuestros corazones a estas cosas esta noche y concédenos Tu paz. Amén.

• Imagine libros, música y películas filtrados y homogeneizados. Certificados. Aprobados para el consumo. La gente estaría encantada de renunciar a la mayor parte de su cultura por la garantía de que la pequeña parte que llega es segura y limpia. Ruido blanco.

• I believe in previous lives and the Muse—and that books and music exist before they are written and that they are propelled into material being by their own imperative to be born, via the offices of those willing servants of discipline, imagination and inspiration whom we call artists.

• Education ent only books and music - it's asking questions, all the time. There are millions of us, all over the country, and no one, not one of us, is asking questions, we're all taking the easiest way out.

• My only passions were books and music. As you might guess, I led a lonely life… Not that I knew what I wanted in life - I didn’t. I loved reading novels to distraction, but didn’t write well enough to be a novelist; being an editor or a critic was out, too, since my tastes ran to the extremes. Novels should be for pure personal enjoyment, I decided, not part of your work or study. That’s why I didn’t study literature

• Before the birth of the New Woman the country was not an intellectual desert, as she is apt to suppose. There were teachers of thehighest grade, and libraries, and countless circles in our towns and villages of scholarly, leisurely folk, who loved books, and music, and Nature, and lived much apart with them. The mad craze for money, which clutches at our souls to-day as la grippe does at our bodies, was hardly known then.
