Reading for Community

The purpose of our club is to bring people together to have meaningful conversations and consult on how to better our communities. Through reading books that highlight various aspects of our society, we can consult on how to approach life challenges and support successes and growth. Here are some quotes that highlight the importance of meaningful conversation, consultation, and reading:

"Consultation bestoweth greater awareness and transmuteth conjecture into certitude. It is a shining light which, in a dark world, leadeth the way and guideth. For everything there is and will continue to be a station of perfection and maturity. The maturity of the gift of understanding is made manifest through consultation." - Bahá’u’lláh

"The only thing that guarantees an open-ended collaboration among human beings, the only thing that guarantees that this project is truly open-ended, is a willingness to have our beliefs and behaviors modified by the power of conversation." - Sam Harris

"Conversation is a catalyst for innovation." - John Seely Brown

"Choose to focus your time, energy and conversation around people who inspire you, support you and help you to grow you into your happiest, strongest, wisest self." - Karen Salmansohn

“You will learn most things by looking, but reading gives understanding. Reading will make you free.” - Paul Rand

"What I love most about reading: It gives you the ability to reach higher ground. And keep climbing.” ― Oprah
