Inspiration

I used to go around collecting quotes that really moved me and write them places for people to see. When I read this book, my first instinct was that I wanted to write down all these quotes and share them with the world, when I relized that that is exactly what these students did. Now I have two copies of this book. One I leave on the coffe table for anyone to read, and the other by my bedside. This way, whenever I feel like I need something inspirational I can always pick up this book, open it up to any page, and find something that really connects directly to my heart. Thank you to all of students who put this book together. It makes a world of difference.

Many Candles Shines

Let me take a deep breath, I have enjoyed this more than any book I have read in recent months. I can't say if it is the quotes, which are a distinct cut above the current common caliber seasoning everything we read lately, or if the penetrating expressions on student's faces go right to the core of the reader. There is a sense of the unity about this book. There is a wisdom in the student perspectives beginning each section that stopped me for a moment. If there is a concern for a "dumbing down" in America, it is NOT apparent in this book. These high school graduates seem to be going somewhere. That somewhere isn't on the usual charts. They seem content. They seem to radiate truth. They speak of enlightenment. As a nation, maybe what we have called "smart" and what we have called "intelligence" need to be looked at again. Looking at society today, it's been a while since we could say that intelligence brought inner happiness. I recommend this book to anyone who embraces for the future a vision of hope, who longs for leaders of truth, and believes in universal wisdom.
