Everything in the world exists to end up in a book.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mallarme said that everything in the world exists in order to end in a book. Today everything exists to end in a photograph.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Live life and write about life. Of the making of many books there is indeed no end, but there are more than enough books about books.
Books are a finer world within the world.
Books are magic: you never know where they're going to end up.
It is true what Rimbaud said; If you think a book is strong enough, try it at the ocean, in the wind, at the waves. If the book can resist the ocean, then it exists. Otherwise, throw it away.
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren't about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
When you publish a book, it's the world's book. The world edits it.
Books allow you to see the world through the eyes of others.
No book includes the entire world. It's limited. And so it doesn't seem like an aesthetic compromise to have to do that. There's so much other material to write about.
