Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren't about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
I think books should have secrets, like people do.
Books support us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves.
Books allow you to see the world through the eyes of others.
Books are like imprisoned souls till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.
The only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little farther down our particular path than we have yet got ourselves.
Books should make somebody look at how they feel, be honest with themselves.
Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.
Some books are a revelation. They come along at just the right time for just the right reasons. They become heart books and soul books.
Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.
