“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”

“No matter how old you get, no matter how far you’ve strayed, a mother can always see right through you.”

“I'm gonna party, see how intoxicated I can get and how many rules I can flaunt. That's my motto.”

“People are like books, and the world is like a library. Some believe that it is important to be known with the most possible people, and have what we call superficial relationships with mass amounts of people. If you go in a library it's not important to see the cover of the most possible books, what you will learn if to get out a pair of interesting books and take a good amount of time to read them. Those who want to know the most possible only see the cover of many books, maybe they get as far as a few pages through the books, but they never get to read some of them. So there is actually no point in finding the books in the 1st place.”

“It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.”

“Not many songs can fend off evil. But the right song with the right voice can be a weapon; anyone who's listened to music through headphones while riding the subway or plowing angrily through a rush-hour sidewalk knows how it can and separate you from them, allows you to say to the teeming masses that you are this and they are that.”
