Catherynne M Valente Quotes
It Was Not The House Of Someone Who Liked Books. It Did Not Have A Well-stocked Library. It Was Not Even Stuffed With Books. Thomas Could Not See Any Part Of The House That Was Not Mostly Book. Books Rose From The Floor To The Ceiling In Unruly, Tottering Towers. Books Held Up Tables And Chairs - And Sat In The Chairs, At The Tables, As Though Quite Ready For Supper To Be Served, So Long As Supper Was More Books. They Sprawled Over The Dining Table Like A Feast Of Many Colors. Books Climbed The Stairs, Ran Up And Down The Hallways, Curled Up Before The Fireplace, Were Wedged Into The Cabinets Beside Cups And Saucers, Held Open Doors And Locked Them Shut. They Left No Room On The Sofa To Sit, Nor In The Kitchen To Stand, Nor On The Floor To Lie Down. Books Had Already Taken Every Territory And Occupied It.
