Sonia Sotomayor shares the power of words and of books in shaping her life. Often I found myself exclaiming in agreement, "Yes, that is how I feel/felt!" Some examples for me include:

"Reading was like lighting candles, each book a flame that lit up the world around me."

"I didn't know how to read yet, but written words, I discovered, were electrical currents that jolted feelings to life."

"Books were my loyal friends. They made it so I never felt lonely."

"The library was my harbor, and books were little boats that helped me escape sadness at home."
