About This Quote
To Senor Sempere, the best friend a book could ever have: you opened the doors to the world for me and showed me how to go through them. I had never seen or heard of someone who had so many books before me. I had no idea that there were so many different kinds of books there were. Not only that, but they were all here for me to read. I don’t know if any of them are still around anymore, but I can tell you that I will never forget the day that my father brought you home.
