"What is in a book that makes a human being attracted to them? Is it the black, thin depth of the letters, that fill the small pages with their own vastness? Is it being able to escape our reality by opening them and being captured in their own world?" "I have been here for a very long time. I like to walk among these. Have you ever silently walked between these tall shelves? These rooms are closed to the public. These rooms contain books, old, rare editions, archived and not to be taken away. These rooms are made for me." "When others pick up a book and read a passage, they decide whether they will read the rest of the book by that passage. If the passage is interesting, they will want to know more, and will continue reading it, until they get to a boring part, have to go away, or don't have the means to get it. Sometimes they will be attracted just by the cover. Other times it will be the manufacturing, the scent of the paper, the loud call of the words that are being opened and begged to be read." "I find that this is how the world goes today. People will end up opening a book, establishing a link with someone. They will then know part of their story. They will decide if they want to know more. They won't simply experience it, for their measurement of experiencing the story will be patience and interest. I was like that too, and realizing how worse it gets with time, I decided that at every possible chance I would hide and shun myself between these walls. Because doing that is just like pretending to read a book, but stopping on just one page." "That's why I want to change. That's why I don't talk with others so easily anymore: I do not want to just read passages and pretend I know everything of that book. I want to take my time and explore that world, the one that is contained within. And I won't limit myself to one page. I will do what I can to sail toward the shores that hide new lands to discover, thoughts being created, stories being shared. That's why I want to know you more..." "I've seen you being here. I have seen you staying until late, trying to find the books you were looking for. I have seen you putting efforts into discovering their worlds. And I have come to the decision that I want to explore yours." "You are like me, an explorer of worlds. Be aware that you have just entered mine."
