Time spent reading, like time spent loving, increases our lifetime.
The teacher is commodified, the school is a shop, the subjects are consumer goods. To read, to think, to reflect, isn't a question of want, it's a question of need.
I master my doubts now. I have fun with them, they're my travelling companions.
A well-chosen book saves you from everything, including yourself.
All it takes is one teacher - just one - to save us from ourselves and make us forget all the others.
By making time to read, like making time to love, we expand our time for living.
