"Never write anything that does not give you great pleasure. Emotion is easily transferred from the writer to the reader." Joseph Joubert
"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." Rainer Maria Rilke
"Boredom is why God invented books." Julie Schumacher
"Talking over the things which you have read with your companions fixes them on the mind." Isaac Watts
"To you it might be a cheap notebook, but to me, it’s my best friend, which listens to me and reminds me when I need it the most." N.N.
