The library of life is burning and we even know the titles books Who said these words?

The quote "The library of life is burning and we even know the titles of the books" is from the film "The Time Traveler's Wife" (2009). It is spoken by Henry DeTamble, the time-traveling protagonist, to Clare Abshire, his wife.

The quote is a metaphor for the impermanence of life and the fact that we are aware of our own mortality, despite the vastness of the experiences and knowledge we could potentially gather in life. It expresses a sense of sadness and urgency to make the most of the time we have.
