Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.
 Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind (via excessivebookshelf)
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

You know why I enjoy writing? Because no one is standing over my shoulder dictating what I should write, how I should think or barking out commands and tasks to perform like they do at my ‘real’ job. Writing gives me freedom to think, and freedom to say whatever I damn well want to say.

You’re alive. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you can change the world, the world will change.

Love writing, reading, and library
