I also think people have a great fascination with fire. I always have. Just watching a fire in a fireplace or the flickering light of a candle relaxed and intrigued me.
When Faber says that books have pores it makes them feel real and in a way they are. They tell the stories of people and not just their actions but every thought. Its documentation of the living which makes it alive. #aplac3
I think the books mean knowledge and free will. Historically people would burn books to steal knowledge and hope from the people. When the world of fantasy and joy dissipates then you only see what you're living, not what you could be living. #aplac3
I relate to Clarissa in the way of looking at things others may not and observing. Stopping to look at someone's body language or how things look. Sometimes I feel older than my body and sometimes I feel younger, depending on the day. #aplac3
