good quotes from current books you have read.

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning”

“These were people so hungry for live that they were accepting substitutes. They were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works; you can’t substitute material things for love of for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship.
Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute tenderness. I can tell you, as I’m sitting here dying, when need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have.”
