About This Quote

Dreams are things that come from books. They aren't the result of reality, but they are often inspired by reality. If you want to achieve something in life, you can find the inspiration in books. Maybe it’s in a story about someone who is made to overcome great odds in order to succeed; or perhaps it’s something more simple like reading about people who find themselves in tough situations and eventually find their way out. You can find all of this inspiration in books like "How To Win Friends And Influence People" or "How To Succeed At Everything."
