“True value lies in what you discover for yourself, the path to knowledge and experience that you traverse by your own effort.”

Whilst reading or after having just completed a book , I like to type out quotes that particularly “stood out” to me. Good for reference.

She walked over and did it again, this time much slower, with her hand facing forward, allowing the dough of her palm to feel the small hurdle of each book. It felt like magic, like beauty, as bright lines of light shone down from a chandelier. Several times, she almost pulled a title from its place but didn’t dare disturb them. They were too perfect.
“That’s the sort of thing I’ll never know, or comprehend– what humans are capable of.”
“When she came to write her story, she would wonder exactly when the books and the words started to mean not just something, but everything.”
I say His name in a futile attempt to understand. “But it’s not your job to understand.” That’s me who answers. God never says anything. You think you’re the only one he never answers? “Your job is to…” And I stop listening to me, because to put it bluntly, I tire me. When I start thinking like that, I become so exhausted, and I don’t have the luxury of indulging fatigue. I’m compelled to continue on, because although it’s not true for every person on earth, it’s true for the vast majority– that death waits for no man– and if he does, he doesn’t usually wait very long.

Whilst reading or after having just completed a book , I like to type out quotes that particularly “stood out” to me. This habit of mine is often helpful when I want to go back and review a book, or if I need to write an essay. I also find that reviewing standout quotes, either in content or by their quantity, can add to the enjoyment of a book. For instance, they remind me of what I like most about a story, or if I didn’t enjoy a book, perhaps present topics I want to/should think about more deeply or critically. Either way, they tend to be excellent for discussion. I hope you may find this series of posts may serve you just as well as for me.
