In my oh-so-humble opinion, there is no better way to start the morning than with an inspirational quote. It’s not because I can’t get through the day without this quirky habit- it’s just that I love filling my mind with thoughts that make me happy. It’s the mental equivalent of downing a shot of lemon juice or a once-over with the loofah in the shower. Ok, so not exactly rocket science, but a fresh start and unarguably, a healthy habit. You should try it. I love reading, so this time I’ve curated quotes for the book lover. Enjoy.

Libraries enrich your life – at no cost. A little healthy escapism never hurt anyone.
My Thoughts:
If you must be addicted to something – let it be books.
My Thoughts:
The life experiences of a person determine how they perceive the events in a book. A movie is another person’s interpretation.

People should be allowed to explore disturbing and uncomfortable controversial topics – or not.
My Thoughts:
This reminds me of my favorite quote by Lao Tzu:

Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

It doesn’t take an entire book to make an impact. A single thought or sentence can have a powerful effect.
My Thoughts:
Well, perhaps not literally true – but never the less, a good concept. Read more, watch TV less. Many TV programs are a form of escapism with no real value.
