"Pretty?' I said, swivelling in the driver's seat to face him, 'you want to ask me out because I'm pretty?' 'Is there a problem with asking you out because you're pretty?'

Deception
"I got mixed up with some oddness in my youth, and the long and short of it is that I can't shuffle off this mortal coil until I have read the ten most boring classics."
Commitment

Reality
"Those that can be troubled to muse upon the meaning of life are general disappointed when they figure it out."

"For myself, I favored the abstract. I collected not just obsolete terms and words, but ideas."
Ideas
"What is without dispute...is that the readers need [the BookWorld] just as much as we need them-to bring order to their apparent chaos, if nothing else."
