Nicolae Iorga | Translations
Write your books in such a way that the reader may believe that you wrote them for him.
Nicolae Iorga | Translations
Books only read once are like those acquaintances whose visit you never return.
Nicolae Iorga | Translations
Many avoid reading a writer in order not to change the opinion they have about him.
Nicolae Iorga | Translations
When the time comes for you to die, do not look at the darkness ahead but at the light you leave behind. And you will pass away with a smile upon your face.
