Antonio Iturbe
“There are those who might think that this was an act of useless bravery in an extermination camp when there were other, more pressing concerns-- books don't cure illnesses; they can't be used as weapons to defeat an army of executioners; they don't fill your stomach or quench your thirst. It's true: culture isn't necessary for the survival of mankind; for that, you only need bread and water. It's also true that with bread to eat and water to drink, humans survive; but with only this, humanity dies. If human beings aren't deeply moved by beauty, if they don't close their eyes and activate their imaginations, if they aren't capable of asking themselves questions and discerning the limits of their ignorance, then they are men or women, but they are not complete persons.”
Antonio Iturbe, La bibliotecaria de Auschwitz

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

Antonio Iturbe
“Os corajosos não são os que não têm medo. Esses são os temerários, os que ignoram o risco e se colocam em perigo sem consciência das consequências. Uma pessoa que não tenha consciência do perigo pode pôr em risco todos os que estejam a seu lado. Esse é o género de gente que não quero na minha equipa. Do que preciso é dos que tremem, mas não cedem, dos que arriscam e mesmo assim seguem em frente.”
Antonio G. Iturbe, La bibliotecaria de Auschwitz

Antonio Iturbe
“Os livros conservam nas suas páginas a sabedoria de quem os escreveu. Os livros nunca perdem a memória.”
Antonio G. Iturbe, La bibliotecaria de Auschwitz

Antonio Iturbe
“Literature has the same impact as a match lit in the middle of a field in the middle of the night. The match illuminates relatively little, but it enables us to see how much darkness surrounds it.”
Antonio Iturbe, The Librarian of Auschwitz
