The Feminine Urge To Dedicate My Life To Books... To Leave Everything And Escape To A Library

“Why do we read books that make us weep? Undoubtedly because we never have, in reality, enough to lament. We need to gamble with fire, with blood, with mourning, not because we are gamblers, but because we need to almost die. We need to mourn for ourselves. And yet to stay alive.”

— Stigmata: Escaping Texts, “In October 1991…” by Hélène Cixous tr. Keith Cohen

my only ambition in life is to have a massive wall to wall bookshelf full of books I've read/am reading that makes people go :O
