Quote by Francesco Petrarca

"Time is the substance I am made of."

"Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable."

"Who is the happy man? He who has a healthy body, a resourceful mind, and a docile nature."

"Five enemies of peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
