About This Quote

The words "treasure trove" come from the pirate Captain Kidd and his "Treasure Room." Kidd was a notorious pirate and hoarder of books. Captain Kidd had a secret room where he kept his treasures, and he would only allow certain people to see it. His treasure room was filled with hidden books by famous authors such as Shakespeare, Dickens, and Homer. Each book gave the reader insight into the author's personality and insights into their thoughts. The main idea that came out of this quote was that we should treasure our friendships and be able to open up to others so we can share our thoughts and feelings with them.
