Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 

Just because you get to a certain number doesn't mean you have to roll up into a ball and wait for the grim reaper.

We were put on this earth to do something!

If you stop using your brain, at any age, it is going to stop working.

It's like if you stop using your hand, it will atrophy.

I think doing nothing is a curse.

Books should be right up there with exercise and diet as something that don't just entertain us but heal us.

They tell us we are not alone and fix the pieces of us that can be shattered by reality.

They are teachers, and they are friends, and we should never contemplate a world - or a life - without them.
