Convince me to read a book with a quote.

  1. I had an idea for a thread I thought would be interesting. Using only a quote that is 50 words or less, try to pique the interest of fellow forum members in said book. I’ll start:

    The Prophet
    Khalil Gibran
    “Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?”

  3. "Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." ― Frank Herbert, Dune
