“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.”

“Yet who reads to bring about an end, however desirable? Are there not some pursuits that we practise because they are good in themselves, and some pleasures that are final? And is not this among them? I have sometimes dreamt, at least, that when the Day of Judgment dawns and the great conquerors and lawyers and statesmen come to receive their rewards–their crowns, their laurels, their names carved indelibly upon imperishable marble–the Almighty will turn to Peter and will say, not without a certain envy when he sees us coming with our books under our arms, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading.”
