Quotes by Robert Burleigh (?)

“But maybe you shouldn't wonder so much about his secret, he says. What's really important is finding your secret - something that becomes like a seed inside you - that will grow as you grow up.”

“Books are my treasures—the best that I’ve got.”
Books are like rivers that flow through my head.
