Giovanni's Room in the Bookshop

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

"You write in order to change the world...if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it." - James Baldwin

 

Plato in the Bookshop

Symposium by Plato

"Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." - Plato

 "The energy of the mind is the essence of life." - Aristotle

 "If I could write words

Like leaves on an autumn forest floor,

What a bonfire my letters would make.

If I could speak words of water,

You would drown when I said

"I love you.”"

― Spike Milligan
