"We possess nothing with certainty but the past."
E. Waugh, Brideshead
“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

ON COLLECTING BOOKS - BUILDING A LIBRARY
“Of course I never considered myself the owner of these things only
their custodian…I was intrigued by the idea of bringing them together, making a
collection into a work of art. I was aware that in the collection I had created
something that in itself was worthier to last than my own works.”
Stefan Zweig
