The world was a carousel, an amusement park full of spinning lights and loving noises.

Memories of a Beatnik - Diane Di Prima

So I opened the book and (as I had read one just recently, that didn't belong to me) thought: "this one. I'm gonna mark it all over. A book to mark it all")
I noticed on the first page, an underlined paragraph, from a previous time that I started the book.

"Or, as my eleven-year-old daughter recently said to me, remembering the early years of her childhood: I really miss those old days. They were hard, but they were beautiful."

So yes, I do think / I still think that the moments in which you open books are completely and utterly perfect.
