Compiled By: Christelle MarambaBooks are filled with thousands of words but some, when stringed together, form the most moving sentences. In this compilation are quotes I have read from the book itself or found on the internet. Whether we have read the book doesn’t matter, what matters is how these quotes, when comprehended, make an impact in our lives.
