“We are all of us born with a letter inside us, and that only if we are true to ourselves, may we be allowed to read it before we die.”

“Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves”

“Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day.”

“See, this is my opinion: we all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand.”

“We only see what's close to us, but if we allow ourselves to simply feel, and not see, we can understand so much more.”

“While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.”
