Notable Quotes
BY SEUNG SAHN
When reading, only read.
When eating, only eat.
When thinking, only think.
BY ROALD DAHL
I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it, and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good.

Spilled by all those generals and emperors
So that in glory and triumph
They could become the momentary masters
Of a fraction
Of a dot.
BY MAURICE SENDAK
I don't know whether I'll do another book or not. I might. It doesn't matter. I'm a happy old man. But I will cry my way all the way to the grave.
I wish you all good things. Live your life, live your life, live your life.
BY JOHN GREEN

freak of nature, they will wrap his body
in newspaper and carry him to the museum.

the orchard, the wind in the grass. And
as he stares into the sky, there are
twice as many stars as usual.
