Like all my other pages, I have been thinking for the longest time about what to write on this page. Finally, I decided that I will use this page to hold all the wonderful quotes that I come across in the books that I have read.
“That’s what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book and that tiny thing will lead you on to another book, and another bit will lead you onto a third book. It’s geometrically progressive–all with no end in sight, and for no reason other than sheer enjoyment.”
From The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
“It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young then, but I did not believe there would ever be a future. I wanted to live dangerously, to pursh myself as far as I could go, and then see what happened to me when I got there. As it turned out, I nearly did not make it.”
From Moon Palace by Paul Auster
“The strength I’m looking for isn’t the kind where you win or lose. I’m not after a wall that’ll repel power from outside. What I want is the kind of strength to be able to absorb that outside power, to stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things – unfairness, misfortune, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings.”
From Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
“But I was wrong. I’m happy to report that I was wrong. It always stimulates me to discover new examples of my own prejudice and stupidity, to realise that I don’t know half as much as I think I do.”
From Oracle Night by Paul Auster
