George Sand
“Let us accept truth, even when it surprises us and alters our views.”
George Sand, Letters of George Sand

Alberto Manguel
“At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book—that string of confused, alien ciphers—shivered into meaning. Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader.”
Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading

Paul Neilan
“And when they start talking, and they always do, you find that each of them has a story they want to tell. Everyone, no matter how old or young, has some lesson they want to teach. And I sit there and listen and learn all about life from people who have no idea how to live it.”
Paul Neilan, Apathy and Other Small Victories

Judy Garland
“Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.”
Judy Garland

Haruki Murakami
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
