書店向來都是遭人圍攻的庇護所。至今仍是。書店業者自認是不穿白袍的醫生，卻不只一次在艱難狀況下需要穿著防彈背心工作。
—伊琳娜．瓦耶荷，西班牙語文學家
“Bookstores have always been a refuge under seige. They still are. Booksellers identify as doctors without a white coat, but they may have to wear a bulletproof vest to work in difficult times.”
—Irene Vallejo, Spanish philologist
