Book cover for Born to Be Posthumous: The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Genius of Edward Gorey
Gorey, who straddled Taoism and Dadaism, irony and existentialist angst, made a career of defying dualisms, in the course of which he produced works that managed to be both marvelous and pointless, serious and frivolous.

Vicki Myron
“A library after closing is a lonely place. It is heart-poundingly silent, and the rows of shelves create an almost unfathomable number of dark and creepy corners.”
Vicki Myron

Vicki Myron
“A great library doesn't have to be big or beautiful. It doesn't have to have the best facilities or the most efficient staff or the most users. A great library provides. It is enmeshed in the life of a community in a way that makes it indispensable. A great library is one nobody notices because it is always there, and always has what people need.”
Vicki Myron, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

Edward Gorey
“I really think I write about everyday life. I don't think I'm quite as odd as others say I am. Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that's what makes it so boring.”
Edward Gorey

Erin Morgenstern
“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world”
Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
