"We are all a volume on a shelf of a library, a story unto ourselves, never possibly described with one word or even very accurately with thousands. A person is never as quiet or unrestrained as they seem, or as bad or good, as vulnerable or as strong, as sweet or as feisty; we are thickly layered, page lying upon page, behind simple covers. And love- it is not the book itself, but the binding. it can rip us apart or hold us together. my mother always said that a book is worthy of a strong embrace, but, too you must be gentle with one. Careful whose hands you put it. Layers, by their nature, are fragile things"
