“Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.” Albert Camus

“It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have, and that you read them.” Seneca

"Some people spend their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don't understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they're there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it's the other side that matters." José Saramago
