Nick Hornby Quotes

Is it so wrong, wanting to be at home with your record collection? It's not like collecting records is like collecting stamps, or beermats, or antique thimbles. There's a whole world in here, a nicer, dirtier, more violent, more peaceful, more colorful, sleazier , more dangerous, more loving world than the world I live in.

December stillness, teach me through your trees. That loom along the west, one with the land, The veiled evangel of your mysteries. While nightfall, sad and spacious, on the down.

In lone remote migration beating by. December stillness, crossed by twilight roads, Teach... Siegfried Sassoon

I was the kind of person who could, using some plausible excuse, inflict on a person I cared for... Haruki Murakami
