“It’s not how many books you get through, it’s how many books get through you.” - Mortimer Adler

"Everything we read stimulates our mind to think, and what we think determines what we desire, and desires are the seedbed of our actions. Given this iron law of human nature--from reading to thinking, to desiring, to acting--we are shaping our destiny by the ideas we choose to have enter our minds through print." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan

"Every soul that uplifts itself uplifts the world." - Elisabeth Leseur
