Irène Némirovsky
“Important events — whether serious, happy or unfortunate — do not change a man's soul, they merely bring it into relief, just as a strong gust of wind reveals the true shape of a tree when it blows off all its leaves. Such events highlight what is hidden in the shadows, they nudge the spirit towards a place where it can flourish.”
Irene Nemirovsky

Ian McEwan
“This is how the entire course of a life can be changed: by doing nothing.”
Ian McEwan, On Chesil Beach

“I read for growth, firmly believing that what you are today and what you will be in five years depends on two things: the people you meet and the books you read.”
Twyla Tharp, The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life

Émile Zola
“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.”
Émile Zola

Mark Twain
“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”
Mark Twain
