Travel far enough, you meet yourself.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

A half-read book is a half-finished love affair.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

Every person is born with a seed of greatness.

How many undervalue the power of simplicity ! But it is the real key to the heart.
