I’m afraid that sometimes you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ’cause you’ll play against you.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

One day’s exposure to mountains is better than a cartload of books.

One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.

All the reading she had done had given her a view of life that they had never seen.

Books are the mirrors of the soul.

Classic – a book which people praise and don’t read.

The greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
