"There are some laws that are coded into the very nature of the universe, and one is: There Is Never Enough Shelf Space."

- Terry Pratchett, with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen - The Globe (Science of Discworld 2)

100 Days of Booklr, Day 42 - Shelf Space

I have very little space left on my bookshelf. It's doubled up and I need to rearrange it so badly. I'd love to have more shelves, but sadly I don't really have the space for them in my room. Guess my floor will have to continue to be my third shelf for a little longer...

Rainer Maria Rilke in his letter to Franz Kappus, 16 July 1903, featured in Letters to a Young Poet (translated by Charlie Louth)

“...love your solitude and bear the pain it causes you with melody wrought with lament. For the people who are close to you, you tell me, are far away, and that shows that you are beginning to create a wider space around you. And if what is close is far, then the space around you is wide indeed and already among the stars; take pleasure in your growth, which no one can accompany you, and be kind-hearted towards those you leave behind, and be assured and gentle with them and do not plague them with your doubts or frighten them with your confidence or your joyfulness, which they cannot understand.”
