Gautama Buddha
“It is like a lighted torch whose flame can be distributed to ever so many other torches which people may bring along; and therewith they will cook food and dispel darkness, while the original torch itself remains burning ever the same. It is even so with the bliss of the Way.”
Buddha Siddhartha Guatama Shakyamuni, The Sutra Of The Forty-Two Sections

Mahatma Gandhi
“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

- I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
- I shall fear only God.
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Henry Van Dyke
“There is a loftier ambition than to stand high in the world. It is to step down and lift mankind a little higher.”
Henry Van Dyke

Neil Gaiman
“You get what anybody gets - you get a lifetime.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind
