― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“Every life has death and every light has shadow. Be content to stand in the light and let the shadow fall where it will.”
― Mary Stewart, The Hollow Hills

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
― Anais Nin

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
