It's much more fun to be the exception, not the rule

Stories help me. To live. To work. To find the meaning hidden in every dream, ever leaf, every drop of dew.

And I came to understand, in a way I never had before, that books are truly the stuff of miracles. I even dared to dream that someday, somehow, I might surround myself with books from many times and many tongues.

Why is it that what we do know can save us, but what we don't know can kill us?

A life-whether seamstress or poet, farmer or king-is measured not by length, but by the worth of its deeds, and the power of its dreams.

Ah, life's little surprises! They can make any day unforgettable... or make it your last.
