Whatever you may say, the body depends on the soul.

---

Luggage carries clothes, but travel carries the soul.

---

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.

---

Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you.

---

Have books ‘happened’ to you? Unless your answer to that question is ‘yes,’ I’m unsure how to talk to you.

---

Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.

---

A book is a gift you can open again and again.

---

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.

---

A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.

---

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
