Ler com paixão (uma ilustração) / Reading With Passion (an illustration)

Reading With Passion, Ludvik Glazer-Naudé.

Às vezes, ler um livro é como dançar um tango com o par ideal, intensamente, esquecendo tudo o resto.

O homem que pensa que consegue.../ "...the man WHO THINKS HE CAN"

Adrien-Jean le Mayeur

"Thinking"  

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

Walter D. Wintle

O livro enquanto magia / Books are magic

JOÃO VAZ DE CARVALHO

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”

Carl Sagan

Só do hábito de ler não prescindo / I won't lose my reading habit

“But then one regrets the loss even of one’s worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one’s personality."
 

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
