“I want to speak to you about the treasures hidden in books; and about the way we find them, and the way we lose them.”

“Books have a way of finding their way into our lives, usually, right when we need them the most.”

“The way we treat certain people in public should sqaure with the way we talk about them in private There should not be double standard.”

“Even things in a book-case change if they are alive; we find ourselves wanting to meet them again; we find them altered”

“But," you may ask, "how can we forget the unkind things that are said...the cruel and unfair treatment one has received? How can we simply forget these things? It is not as simple as that!" There is just one sure way. Never talk about them, and never think about them. If you want to forget something, never speak even to your dearest friend about it. When it bobs into your mind, banish it at once. It will surprise you how quickly you can forget anything by that treatment.”

“Sometimes the things we dream about are merely the heart's way of protecting us from what we really want, and what we're really afraid to lose.”
