"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us.

If the book we are reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head,

what are we reading it for? We need the books that affect us like a disaster,

that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide.

A book must be the axe for a frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

"The way to happiness:

Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry.

Live simply, expect little, give much.

Scatter sunshine, forget yourself, and think of others."

Norman Vincent Peale

 

 

"Destiny is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself

nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind

of what you’re about will come true."

Bob Dylan

 

"The only journey is the one within."

Rainer Maria Rilke
