“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”

— George R. R. Martin

“No country on earth, no political system can think of its own future otherwise than through the image of these new generations that will receive from their parents the manifold heritage of values, duties and aspirations of the nation to which they belong and of the whole human family. Concern for the child, even before birth, from the first moment of conception and then throughout the years of infancy and youth, is the primary and fundamental test of the relationship of one human being to another.” (St. John Paul II, Address to the General Assembly of the United Nations Oct. 2, 1979)
