“To read great books does not mean one becomes ‘bookish’; it means that something of the terrible insight of Dostoyevsky, of the richly-charged imagination of Shakespeare, of the luminous wisdom of Goethe, actually passes into the personality of the reader; so that in contact with the chaos of ordinary life certain free and flowing outlines emerge, like the forms of some classic picture, endowing both people and things with a grandeur beyond what is visible to the superficial glance.”
― John Cowper Powys

“قال لي سالم بيه: "أنت تقرأ كثيرا..أنت مجنون!" .. قلت له إن القراءة بالنسبة لي نوع رخيص من المخدرات. لا أفعل بها شيئاً سوى الغياب عن الوعي. في الماضي -تصور هذا- كانوا يقرءون من أجل إكتساب الوعي ! ..”

“Life must not be squandered. A person got from life what he put ino it.”
