"The best books are the ones that destroy you: the ones that reveal you your perfectly aligned..."

“The best books are the ones that destroy you: the ones that reveal you your perfectly aligned imperfections. Those books that stir up your emotions, those that shatter your heart, those that make you afraid when there is nothing to be afraid of, and those that hide things from you. The best books are truly human, they alter your soul in a way that you have never witnessed before. They destroy you, because it is the only way it can affect you, and change you. Those are the books you can’t live without.”
