Renew Yourself with Great Books

Aldous Huxley, author of the radiant novels Brave New World and Island, blessed us with these memorable words:

“Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant, and interesting.”

Dare to be bold, be free, be truthful. The great books (and their authors) help us to affirm our genuine selves: they give us courage to be unique.

“Life’s opportunities shrink or expand,” said Anais Nin, “in proportion to one’s courage.”

And e.e. cummings agreed:

“To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”

Zorba’s mission is to promote the innovative ideas and the daring books that renew our belief in Love and kindness, nourish the creativity of children and childhood, create an environmentally sustainable future, and point the way to a new world of sincerity, compassion, happiness, and peace.
