Fernando Pessoa
“I read and am liberated. I acquire objectivity. I cease being myself and so scattered. And what I read, instead of being like a nearly invisible suit that sometimes oppresses me, is the external world’s tremendous and remarkable clarity, the sun that sees everyone, the moon that splotches the still earth with shadows, the wide expanses that end in the sea, the blackly solid trees whose tops greenly wave, the steady peace of ponds on farms, the terraced slopes with their paths overgrown by grape-vines.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

F. Sionil José
“We read because they teach us about people, we can see ourselves in them,in their problems.And by seeing ourselves in them, we clarify ourselves, we explain ourselves to ourselves, so we can live with ourselves...”
F. Sionil José, Ermita

Carlos P. Romulo
“I was convinced that luck was a matter of knowing what one wanted and then being willing to work to make the wish come true.”
Carlos P. Romulo

Maurice Sendak
“A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful.”
Maurice Sendak

“Ipinangako ko sa sarili ko: tulad ng butil ng palay, hindi ako mapupunta sa batuhan o hihipan lang ng hangin. Mapupunla ako sa mayamang bukirin.”
