Books - Medicine for The Soul

A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend. (autor necunoscut)
A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy. (Edward P. Morgan)
A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. (William Styron)
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. (Charles W. Eliot)
A book must be an ice-axe to break the seas frozen inside our soul. (Franz Kafka)
Books - the best antidote against the marsh-gas of boredom and vacuity. (George Steiner)
Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled "This could change your life." (Helen Exley)
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. (Mark Twain)
