Kindle Notes & Highlights
When the book finally came to a satisfying close, she leaned back in bed after having stayed awake far too late, and blinked the tears from her eyes with joy for the love that mended so much hurt. And with sorrow to bid farewell to the characters who had grown roots within her heart over the course of those few days.
Good books were like amazing sunsets or awe-inspiring landscapes, better enjoyed with someone else. There was no greater experience in the world than sharing the love of a book, discussing its finer points, and reliving the story all over again.
There was power in literature. Brilliant and undeniable. Books inspired free thought and empathy, an overall understanding and acceptance of everyone.
The world also needs to remember to never take for granted what has been gifted to us through the sacrifice of others: the right to an education and learning, the power and luxury of freedom, and the beauty to appreciate the routine of simple, everyday life.
