You let go. It's as simple and as complicated as Antonia had told me. You cry. You come. You sing. You laugh. You scream. You let go. No one needs to hang on to a first edition. Whoever wrote it; even if it was Moses. I looked back up at the sky, blinking at the lustrous beauty of the ascending and departing demons. They formed an alphabet I was beginning to learn to read. They were fire in the sky. . Graham Joyce
About This Quote

A book is a beautiful thing. It is a representation of who you are and who you want to be. It represents, in your mind, how you see yourself and how you want others to see you. You keep it in good condition because it is an important piece of art and history.

But when it comes time to let go of the book, you know what is in it and that there is no need for you to hang on to it. You can give it to someone else who may like it or use what is currently in the book and pass the book on for someone else to enjoy.
