“Do not disregard your life. You are here to face challenges and claim victory over time. You are here to discover new paths and show others how it is done. You are here to climb the toughest mountains and conquer. Your story does not have to end with you being a victim or a loser. Let it end with you being a victor.”

We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading.”

“Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.”

“You know," Loki said, toeing a volume that had tumbled from the pile. "You'd have more room if you kept fewer books." Theo hung his cane on the edge of the grate beside the small fire place and began to stoke the ashes. "I'd rather have books than space.”
