Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.

I want to make a difference in the world.

"One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing."

"Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it."

The world is made of words, and those words are so powerful that they can create worlds.

Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that motherfucker's reflection.
