Favorite Quotes from the book
1.)"Happiness is a journey, not a destination."
2.)"Freedom is like a house:you build it brick by brick. The first brick you should lay is willpower. This quality inspires you to do what is right in any moment. It gives you the energy to act with courage. It gives you the control to live the life you have imagined rather than accepting the life you have."
