We will open the book.  Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves.

The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.

- Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Books aren't made of pages and words.  They are made of hopes, dreams, and possibilities.

- Unknown

You will turn over many a futile new leaf till you learn we must all write on scratched-out pages. 

- Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
