Read as much good books as i can

“I do assure you, Sir, that I have no pretension whatever to that kind of elegance which consists in tormenting a respectable man. I would rather be paid the compliment of being believed sincere. I thank you again and again for the honour you have done me in your proposals, but to accept them is absolutely impossible. My feelings in every respect forbid it. Can I speak plainer? Do not consider me now as an elegant female, intending to plague you, but as a rational creature, speaking the truth from her heart.” I cant help returning to this book again and again….

“I walked into a bookstore. I started counting the books i wanted to read and the years i had yet to live. They are not enough. I wont last ,not even for half a bookstore. For sure there are other ways of saving someone, otherwise im lost.”
