• When I was growing up, books took me away from my life to a solitary place that didn't feel lonely.

They were all mine, private islands with secret passwords only the worthy could utter.

• This world is not the same to all people. Each one lives in his little domain....Peace and harmony may reign in one person's world; where strife and restlessness in anothers. But whatever the circumstances of one's environment, it consists of both an inner and an outer world. The outside world is the one in which your life engages in action and interaction. The world inside of you determines your happiness or unhappiness.
