Top 10 Best Quotes
“Home is where the heart is. No, nothing quite as simple as that. Home is where you struggle, in a world of endless struggle, to become the best you can be, and it becomes home in your heart only if one day you can look back and say that, in spite of all your faults and failures, it was in this special place where you began to see, however dimly, the shape of your soul.”
“You should have more faith in fiction. It lets you come sideways at the truth, which is the only way anyone ever gets near it.”

“Home is where you struggle, in a world of endless struggle, to become the best you can be, and it becomes home in your heart only if one day you can look back and say that, in spite of all your faults and failures, it was in this special place where you began to see, however dimly, the shape of your soul.”
“she ran for the only medicine that reliably cured any bout of unpleasant feelings: a book.”
