Quotes by Antoine Compagnon (?)

“Bøkene er alltid tilgjengelige følgesvenner. Alderdom, ensomhet, lediggang, kjedsomhet, smerte og uro: Det finnes ikke den hverdagslige plage som bøkene ikke kan lindre, såfremt plagene ikke er for sterke. Bøkene mildner bekymringene og tilbyr trøst og støtte.”
― Antoine Compagnon, Un été avec Montaigne

“Biblioteket var hans tilfluktssted fra privatliv og offentlige oppgaver, fra verdens kjas og mas og samtidens uroligheter.”

“Concibe la memoria involuntaria como el lugar de la palabra verdadera, pero mientras el filósofo tropieza con esa intuición, el novelista, desplazando los contornos de la lengua, nos la hará comprender.”
― Antoine Compagnon, Literatura Para Quê?
