A woman must marry the man who loves her, but never the one she loves; that is the secret of lasting happiness. - Mariama Bâ

Books saved you. Having become your refuge, they sustained you. The power of books, this marvelous invention of astute human intelligence. Various signs associated with sound: different sounds that form the word. Juxtaposition of words from which springs the idea, Thought, History, Science, Life. Sole instrument of interrelationships and of culture, unparalleled means of giving and receiving. Books knit generations together in the same continuing effort that leads to progress. They enabled you to better yourself. What society refused you, they granted.

The word 'happiness' does indeed have meaning, doesn't it? I shall go out in search of it.
