Quote I believe that today more than ever a book...

“I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.” - Henry Miller

Decryption of quote

"I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it."

Imagine holding a book in your hands, flipping through its pages, and stumbling upon a single page that speaks to your soul. That one page, with its profound words and powerful message, has the potential to change your perspective, ignite your imagination, and inspire you in ways you never thought possible.

"We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it."

Just like a miner searching for precious ore in a mine, we must search for the hidden gems within books. It may be a fragment of wisdom, a splinter of truth, or even a toenail of insight. These small but valuable pieces have the power to enrich our minds and nourish our spirits.

"Anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul."

Books have the incredible ability to resuscitate our weary bodies and souls. They breathe life into our existence, rejuvenate our spirits, and awaken our dormant passions. Each word, each sentence, each page has the potential to revitalize us and bring us back to life.

So, let us not underestimate the power of a single page in a book. Let us seek out those fragments, splinters, and toenails that contain precious ore. Let us embrace the transformative magic of literature and allow it to breathe new life into our bodies and souls.
