In
the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through,
but rather how many can get through to you. ~Mortimer J. Adler
The
role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to
say. ~Anaïs Nin

Everyone thinks of
changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
~Leo Tolstoy
Read only the kind of
books that wound and stab us. We need books that affect us like a disaster,
that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves,
like being banished into forests far from everyone…. A book must be the axe
for the frozen sea inside us.
~ Franz Kafka
And by the way,
everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it,
and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is
self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath
