一本书是脆弱的生物，它承受时间的磨损，害怕啮齿动物、自然元素和笨拙的手。因此，图书管理员不仅要保护书籍免受人类的伤害，还要保护它们免受自然的侵害，并将一生奉献给与遗忘力量的斗争。

"The colony is the place where the project of a new humanity is to be tested, where the dream of a world without borders is to be realized, where the dream of a world without races is to be realized, where the dream of a world without nations is to be realized, where the dream of a world without classes is to be realized, where the dream of a world without genders is to be realized, where the dream of a world without religions is to be realized, where the dream of a world without money is to be realized, where the dream of a world without property is to be realized."

The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.

我不相信普适的解决方案；我相信独特的回应。
