Truth and Beauty & Kindness (Enlightenment)

A wise woman once said "If you should encounter a rare man of intellect, you should ask him what books he reads." I realize this may come off as insulting, considering my only two followers are guys, but I do not mean it that way. The point is; reading makes you smarter. Its also incredibly stress relieving, relaxing and healthy for your mind; which craves new info. I'm trying to get Anthony to start reading poetry because I think it might instill a thoughtful, sentimental value in him (Enlightenment) and it might start making him look at the beauty in the world rather than seeing it in black and white. (I cant believe my boyfriend doesn't even know I have a blog...
lol) Anyways, here are a few things I thought you guys could appreciate:)
