“I get worried for young girls sometimes;

 I want them to feel 

that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky 

and smart and independent,

 and not so withered and shriveled.” 

—Amy Poehler

Love Poem Love: Keats

Bright Star

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —

No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,

Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

John Keats

"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." - Jorge Luis Borges, "Poema de los Dones"

*I want to go to there*

E.B. WHITE IN A LETTER TO THE CHILDREN OF TROY, MICHIGAN

a library is many things. it’s a place to go, to get in out of the rain. it’s a place to go if you want to sit and think. 

but particularly it is a place where books live, and where you can get in touch with other people, and other thoughts, through books… books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people — people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book
