I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.

Henry Miller
About This Quote

We live in a time where the internet has become the new library. We have so many books at our disposal that it can be overwhelming to find the ones with the most meaning. However, you don’t have to go searching for the single page of a book that has more meaning than others. You just have to look harder. You have to search for pieces of wisdom that are scattered throughout your world, waiting to be found.
