A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. --Swami Vivekananda

---

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

---

Books are a uniquely portable magic.

---

The mirror never lies, but it doesn’t tell the whole story either.

---

Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.

---

Luggage carries clothes, but travel carries the soul.

---

I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book.

---

I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.

---

If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.
