    Richard Peck
    “I read because one life isn't enough, and in the page of a book I can be anybody;
    I read because the words that build the story become mine, to build my life;
    I read not for happy endings but for new beginnings; I'm just beginning myself, and I wouldn't mind a map;
    I read because I have friends who don't, and young though they are, they're beginning to run out of material;
    I read because every journey begins at the library, and it's time for me to start packing;
    I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town, and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everybody, and I want to be ready.”

    Frank Herbert
    “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
