"A literatura é um espelho da sociedade, refletindo suas virtudes e seus vícios."

The true measure of our success will be what we leave for future generations.

"Writing is the closest thing we have to real magic."

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

Optimists tend to interpret their troubles as transient, controllable, and specific to one situation. Pessimists, on the other hand, believe that their troubles last forever, undermine everything they do, and are uncontrollable.

The moment you stop trying is the moment you stop learning.
