“There are books which we read early in life, which sink into our consciousness and seem to disappear without leaving a trace. And then one day we find, in some summing-up of our life and put attitudes towards experience, that their influence has been enormous.”

She makes you feel
like a loaf of freshly baked bread.

people.
The type of people
who help you
rise.”
