“phrase from nearest book” meme

The meme:

• Grab the nearest book.
• Open it to page 56.
• Find the fifth sentence.
• Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
• Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Lástima que los verdaderos logros – el amor, la poesía inglesa, el perme de la libertad- deban permenacer en secreto o sean en España un lujo sin porvenir.

From Jaime Gil de Biedma bio, by Miguel Dalmau
