Things bloosom in their time. They bud and bloom, blossom and fade. Everything in its time.

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called.

Actually I didn't shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die, but he could tell I was extremely cross.

One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream. The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. The tale is the map that is the territory. You must remember this.

The stuff you bring back from dreams is free.

But libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.
