Financial Times 8Heathcote 9

 

Books represent a search for meaning in a disordered and empty world. In those endless piles, in the thousands of magazines and clippings resides the evidence of a search for order, a thirst for a knowledge which might make sense of the random, unpredictable everyday.
-- Edwin Heathcote. All about my father: inheriting a lifetime's collection of books, Financial Times (January 31, 2019).
