“One half of me is yours, the other half is yours,
Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours.”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

“In a word, literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourse of my book-friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness. The things I have learned and the things I have been taught seem of ridiculously little importance compared with their "large loves and heavenly charities.”
― Helen Keller, The Story of My Life
