“Nothing is more terrifying than fearlessness.”

“Nothing is more frightening than a fear you cannot name.”

“Hope. Nothing is more intoxicating.”

“Nothing chased nightmares away faster than the rustle of printed paper.”

“The spoken word is nothing. It hardly lives longer than an insect! Only the written word is eternal. - Balbulus”

“The heart was a weak, changeable thing, bent on nothing but love, and there could be no more fatal mistake than to make it your master. Reason must be in charge.

“Which of us has not felt that the character we are reading in the printed page is more real than the person standing beside us?”
