It is easy to disappear when no one is looking at you.

The Moon – Stefan
The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed. What we
see is who we are and what we believe in is how we are raised. It is an
illusion to put your shoes on another’s foot.
The
Moon Arcana is associated with creativity, inspiration, dreams, madness,
illusions, fear, fantasy, the subconscious and trickery. You are
sometimes being attuned subconsciously to the world around, gaining the
ability to sense things without being told about them or without anyone
else knowing.
You are often psychically-attuned, and your
projection of your own fears and faults onto others is becoming a habit.
You often tend to have trouble accepting yourself for who you are and,
because of that fear, you try to correspond to an ideal person.

I stepped into the bookshop and breathed in that perfume of paper and magic that strangely no one had ever thought of bottling.

Tamora Pierce, Lady Knight (via booksqouted)
His library was a fine dark place bricked with books, so anything could happen there and always did. All you had to do was pull a book from the shelf and open it and suddenly the darkness was not so dark anymore.
