About Me

I am a book-lover and sometimes I feel quotes are the best way to describe who I am. Some very meaningful quotes to me are:

"I am human, nothing that is human is foreign to me." - Terrence

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite". - Nelson Mandela

"How could I endure to be a man, if man were not also poet and reader of riddles and... a way to new dawns." - Zarathustra
