Books Reading Quotes

“It's going somewhere without ever taking a train or ship, an unveiling of new, incredible worlds. It's living a life you weren't born into and a chance to see everything colored by someone else's perspective. It's learning without having to face consequences of failures, and how best to succeed...I think within all of us, there is a void, a gap waiting to be filled by something. For me, that something is books and all their proffered experiences.”
― Madeline Martin, The Last Bookshop in London

― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quijote de la Mancha I

“El lector verdadero está siempre leyendo un libro -o dos, o tres o diez- y la novedad llega como una molestia -a veces irritante, a veces agradable, a veces incluso deseada- en el seno de esa actividad ininterrumpida. Donde, no sin esfuerzo, deberá conquistar un espacio, si no cae antes de las manos del lector. Este, entonces, volverá felizmente a ese otro libro que estaba leyendo porque eso es precisamente lo que tenía ganas de hacer.”
― Roberto Calasso, Come ordinare una biblioteca

“Hay títulos que uno ha evitado durante años y años, viéndolos reaparecer cada tanto. Llega un día en que, sin una razón aparente, nos aventuramos a comprar el libro. Finalmente uno lo abre y descubre que es del todo distinto de lo que habíamos pensado. O bien se constata que es como si ya lo hubiéramos leído -y entonces las razones para evitarlo eran incuestionablemente sólidas.”
― Roberto Calasso, Come ordinare una biblioteca

“Es esencial comprar libros que no vayan a ser leídos enseguida. Al cabo de uno o dos años, o acaso de cinco, diez, veinte, treinta, cuarenta años, llegará el momento en que se sentirá la necesidad de leer precisamente ese libro -y tal vez lo encontraremos en un estante poco frecuentado de la propia biblioteca-. Mientras tanto, puede suceder que ese libro se haya vuelto irrepetible, y difícil de encontrar incluso en un anticuario, porque es de escaso valor comercial (ciertos libros de bolsillo parecen disolverse rápidamente en el aire) o incluso porque se ha vuelto una rareza y entonces vale mucho más. Lo importante es que ahora se pueda leer enseguida. Sin más búsquedas, sin la necesidad de buscarlo en una biblioteca. Operaciones laboriosas que cancelan la inspiración del momento.

Qué extraña sensación cuando se abre ese libro. Por un lado, la sospecha de haber anticipado, sin saberlo, la propia vida, como si un demonio sabio y malicioso hubiese pensado: "Un día te ocuparás de los Bogomilos, aunque por ahora no sepas casi nada de ellos." Por otra parte, un sentimiento de frustración, como si solo fuéramos capaces de reconocer aquello que tiene que ver con nosotros con gran retraso. Después nos damos cuenta de que esa doble sensación se aplica también a muchos otros momentos de nuestra vida. Valéry escribió una vez que "estamos hechos de dos momentos, y del retraso de una 'cosa' sobre sí misma".”
― Roberto Calasso, Come ordinare una biblioteca
