There are books written to be read. There are books written to be sold. The first ones have the soul and lessons you need. The second ones are just plain, empty, and cold.

About This Quote

The first books that people write are books that they truly believe in. They are written with the ideas and feelings of their heart, not with the idea of selling them to someone else. The second books are just plain, empty, and cold. They are not written because it is something you truly believe in. It’s just for the sake of getting money or recognition.
