It's Located at the Corner of Get a Map

So, at the library, we have this book sale section.  We sell our old books and then people can donate books that we'll sell.  At bare minimum, we try to sell readable books.

But there's this homeless guy who keeps hiding his old, smelly books in our book sale.  And I mean, I normally like old books, but these books are seriously nasty.  The last one smelled really bad and had stuff growing on the pages.  Anyways, the point is, it's super weird that he keeps hiding them in our book sale.

But I have this theory:

In all these books, there are random highlighted lines. 

And I kind of think maybe he's trying to send us a message.  The novelist in me wishes it was a secret code or map for treasure, but it might just be a bit more profound than treasure.

The book he hid today was "The Novels and Tales of Robert Louis Stevenson" and he had this highlighted in it:

"Hope, they say, deserts us at no period of our existence.  From first, to last, and in the face of smarting disillusions, we continue to expect good fortune, better health, and better conduct; and that so confidently, that we judge it needless to deserve them."
