Book Quote by Orhan Pamuk
““You cannot embark on life, that one-off coach ride, once again when it is over, but if you have a book in your hand, no matter how complex or difficult, when you have finished it, you can, if you wish, go back to the beginning, read it again, and thus understand that which is difficult and, with it, understand life as well.””
