This why I love to read. :)

"What is a teacher? I'll tell you: It isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows."
-Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

"If there is a Creator, what is he? And if there isn't a Creator, what is this world?"
-Jostein Gaarder, Maya

"The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity - it's envy.  Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can.  But life leaps over oblivion lightly, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud."
-Yann Martel, The Life of Pi

"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
-Yann Martel, The Life of Pi

"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life."
-Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love
