No one ever reads a book. He reads himself through books, either to discover or to control himself. - Romain Rolland

No one ever reads a book. He
reads himself through books.

Let us be bold and proclaim the truth to the elders of these young men, to their moral guides, to their religious and secular leaders, to the Churches, the great thinkers, the leaders of socialism; these living riches, these treasures of heroism you held in your hands; for what are you squandering them? What ideal have you held up to the devotion of these youths so eager to sacrifice themselves? Their mutual slaughter!

stones are hard everywhere.

If a man is to shed the light of the sun upon other men, he must first of all have it within himself.
