Quote by Thích Nhất Hạnh

“Without suffering, there's no happiness. So we shouldn't discriminate against the mud. We have to learn how to embrace and cradle our own suffering and the suffering of the world, with a lot of tenderness.”

“It was as if some people believed there was a divide between the books that you were permitted to enjoy and the books that were good for you, and I was expected to choose sides. We were all expected to choose sides. And I didn't believe it, and I still don't. I was, and still am, on the side of books you love.”

“No one dies in vain. Not really. Each of us plays a role in the world, whether it be a hero or a villain. We love or we hate, we help or we hurt, but whatever we do, it touches a million others just like us. We play our parts, and when our time here is finished, someone else's story begins. That's all the stories really are, a collection of a million different configurations o the same beings, a hundred variations of beginnings and endings all rolled up into one terrific plot.”

“Every book begins and ends with other people- the readers who suggest the book to us and encourage us to read it, the talented author who crafted each word, the fascinating individuals we meet inside the pages- and the readers we discuss and share the book with when we finish.”
