"If you sell, say, two thousand copies, it is the same thing as if you had sold nothing at all because two thousand is too vast-I mean, for the imagination to grasp. While thirty-seven people-perhaps thirty-seven are too many, perhaps seventeen would have been better or even seven-but still thirty-seven are still within the scope of one's imagination."

"Whatever one man does, it is as if all men did it. For that reason, it is not unfair that one disobedience in a garden should contaminate all humanity; for that reason it is not unjust that the crucifixion of a single Jew should be sufficient to save it."
Responsibility

Perseverance
"The library will endure; it is the universe. As for us, everything has not been written; we are not turning into phantoms. We walk the corridors, searching the shelves and rearranging them, looking for lines of meaning amid leagues of cacophony and incoherence, reading the history of the past and our future, collecting our thoughts and collecting the thoughts of others, and every so often glimpsing mirrors, in which we may recognize creatures of the information."
Universe
"There are those who seek the love of a woman to forget her, to not think about her."
Love
"I imagined a labyrinth of labyrinths, a maze of mazes, a twisting, turning, ever-widening labyrinth that contained both past and future and somehow implied the stars. Absorbed in those illusory imaginings, I forgot that I was a pursued man; I felt myself, for an indefinite while, the abstract perceiver of the world. The vague, living countryside, the moon, the remains of the day did their work in me; so did the gently downward road, which forestalled all possibility of weariness. The evening was near, yet infinite."
Imagination
"The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries."
Science
"It seemed incredible that this day, a day without warnings or omens, might be that of my implacable death."
Mortality
"I owe my first inkling of the problem of infinity to a large biscuit tin that was a source of vertiginous mystery during my childhood."
Infinity
