twist of fate

 

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of

another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years.

To read is to voyage through time.”

The mind of the ignorant person is conditioned and fixed.”

TWIST OF FATE

 

 

“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.”

 

~ Umberto Eco ~

 

 

The book is from my personal collection. Photos taken in March 2016.
