Favorite Quotes | “Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you’d most like not to lose.” “Always learn poems by heart. They have to become the marrow in your bones. Like fluoride in the water, they’ll make your soul impervious to the world’s soft decay.” “Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.” “There is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women.” “To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” |
