“There are people who read books, and then there are people who define their lives by the books they have read and by the books they will read. Their relationship with books is not one of gleaning information and then discarding. It is a friendship that is more akin to, if it were possible, putting an arm around the book and whispering to it, giggling and chuckling with shared knowledge, shared experiences. When you see someone grasp a book to their breast and close their eyes or hold the book to their nose and inhale the scent of the book, they are gently mad, but also they are not just a reader of books, but a lover of books.”
― Jeffrey Keeten

“لو رأيت الكل يمشي عكسك لا تتردد، امشِ، حتى لو أصبحت وحيدًا، فالوحدة خيرٌ من أن تمشي عكس نفسك لإرضاء غيرك”
― جبران خليل جبران

“Some of our strangest actions are also our most deeply characteristic: secret desires remain weak fantasies unless they pervade a will strong enough to carry them out.”
― Jim Harrison, Legends of the Fall
