Go ahead, and fear not. You will have a full library at your service. ~Doris Kearns Goodwin
#quotes #doris-kearns-goodwin #library #books

I had wanted simply to convey to the reader by way of concrete example that life holds a potential meaning under any conditions, even the most miserable ones. And I thought that if the point were demonstrated in a situation as extreme as that in a concentration camp, my book might gain a hearing. I therefore felt responsible for writing down what I had gone through, for I thought it might be helpful to people who are prone to despair. ~Viktor E. Frankl

In reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

I only discovered the "Harry Potter" series in my tenth standard. I dived right into it, often reading non-stop through the day and night.

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan
