Library

The first thing anyone could possible notice is the Library books on a shelfbooks: there’s thousand of them, from ceiling to floor. There is one of those ladders on wheels that you only see on TV, and a desk with a book wide open on it.
In the Book is a summary of the things learnt from the library, taking various forms and mediums:

The Book


"We define ourselves by our limitations" J C Grimwood
"I'm not crazy 'cos I take the right pills" Jimmy Eat World
"You'll never be a master to others so long as your greatest ambition is to please your own master" W (can't remember his surname but he wrote Slaves of Mastery!)
"The mind is a kind of theatre, where several perceptions successfully make their appearence; pass, repass, glide away and minglie in an infinite variety of postures." David Hume
"That delirium of delight wherein pleasure is purified by it's excess" The person who wrote 'Liasons Dangereux
"I'm no hero...I just like to hit people on the head" Nelson Muntz

"Optimists look to the best and are constantly disappointed. Pessimists prepare for the worst and are often pleasantly surprised." My First Contribution from ametropia
