“I
have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”― Jorge Luis
Borges
Don’t
you love quotes from people you respect – or quotes that are just fun? Do you look at them and contemplate any
deeper layers of meaning? Or does it just tickle something within you that
responds and makes it your own?
Like the quote above. I’m not saying
it has many deep layers of meaning, but isn’t it fun to contemplate? I’m a
writer and a reader. I can’t help it, it speaks to me.
Have you thought of such a thing? I
mean I’m not really into gold-paved streets, etc. I’d be much happier with a
great library. A wonderful library complete with all the books of the world and
including the fabulous Ereaders on where there are stored even more books!
Ah, yes, paradise. In heaven or on
earth, it must be well stocked with books and scripts. And since we’re talking
paradise here, they must be well-written fiction books and scripts packed with
gripping tales and/or non-fiction with mind-boggling information I would have
never considered on my own. You too?
Mind-expanding fun. I mean libraries
are the repositories of books, knowledge and these days, much more with access
to electronic books, the web, music, TV, movies and pretty much everything
else.
The other wonderful thing about
libraries is that anyone can go. Wow. Really. I mean what forethought the
ancients and then the more moderns had when libraries came into being. Never
ending education and entertainment is available within those walls. It’s
peaceful. It’s fulfilling. It offers up worlds we haven’t even dreamed of.
Seriously, if you haven’t been to
your local library in a while, it would be very much worth your time…that is
until paradise library actually exists.
