The universe (which others call the Library) ...
" There is a profound analogy between these two libraries: Don Quixote tried to find in the world the facts, the adventures, and damsels his library had promised him : and consequently he wanted to believe and did believe that the universe was like his library. Borges, less of an idealist, decided that his library was like the universe - and one understands then why he never felt the need to leave it. Just as one cannot say, " Stop the world, I want to get off," likewise one cannot escape from the Library. "
(Umberto Eco, " Between La Mancha and Babel ")
