There are only two kinds of madness one should guard against.
One is the belief that we can do everything. The other is the belief that we can do nothing.

born on this day, 1935

“My library was - all libraries are - a place of ultimate refuge, a wild and sacred space where meanings are manageable precisely because they aren't binding; and where illusion is comfortingly real.”

✒️ #AndréBrink, South African poet and author, was #BOTD 29 May 1935.

Salieri – André's favourite – and I are celebrating André's 90th birthday by re-reading my favourite of his novels and having coffee in his favourite mug.

'I know now: it is not the death of a man that is terrible. That is commonplace. What is terrible, is the death of everything you have believed in, everything you've hoped for, everything you thought you loved.'
