The writings on this account are most likely to be mere drabbles,
some only a few paragraphs, others so ancient they seem to be by an
entirely different person. I will never lose my love of literature.

Books. Yes, a rather pathetic existence is mine that bases itself on
color-stained canvases and ink-smudged pages, but that is my life, and
I love it.
