“You should never read just for “enjoyment.” Read to make yourself smarter! Less judgmental. More apt to understand your friends’ insane behavior, or better yet, your own. Pick “hard books.” Ones you have to concentrate on while reading. And for god’s sake, don’t let me ever hear you say, “I can’t read fiction. I only have time for the truth.” Fiction is the truth, fool! Ever hear of “literature”? That means fiction, too, stupid.”  
— John Waters

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
— Franz Kafka

Quote of the day

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer there are for a player to break.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Most of us would find little time for looking after other people's faults if we gave strict attention to our own. Besides, seeing and knowing our own defects would make us more charitable concerning those of others.

People want to be around those who are up, lively, and happy, all things that engender trust.
You become your wisest, happiest and most loving self when you commit to your own happiness and find ways to be of value to others.

We cannot change the past, but God can change our perception of it through forgiveness.
