Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

Books are the mirrors of the soul.

---

---

I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.

---

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. --Swami Vivekananda
