"There’s something about bookshelves that are so beautiful to me. Even if they aren’t organized or alphabetized. They hold so much potential, so many options. There are a million options for a way of escape, a way to forget the world around you. That’s what’s so beautiful about reading, is that those black and white pages absorb you. They bring you in, hook line and sinker. And you come back to your own life feeling rejuvenated, ready for anything. Because if Scarlett O’Hara can survive the civil war, you can surely survive your family, your friends, and your school. So you may see a bookshelf, disorganized and messy. But I see hope, I see potential, and I see somewhere I want to be. To just run my hands over the binds, flip through the aged pages, hear the creaks and flutters. A bookshelf is not just a bookshelf just as a book is not simply a book, they are gateways to another world; passageways to the past, the present and the future."

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that. But, the really great make you feel as though you too can be great."

"People’s lives change. To keep all your old friends is like keeping all your old clothes. Pretty soon, your closet is so jammed and everything’s so crushed and you can’t find anything to wear. Help these friends when they need you, bless the years and happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to feel guilty if new people mean more to you now."
