Another memorable book I read when I was in school is Jerome K. Jerome's 'Three Men in Boat'. I still have so many quotations from the book with me. The author writes:
"They awe us, these strange stars, so cold, so clear. We are as children whose small feet have strayed into some dim-lit temple of the god they have been taught to worship but know not; and standing where the echoing some spans the long vista of the shadowy light, glance up, half hoping, half afraid to see some awful vision hovering there.
And yet it seems so full of comfort and of strength, the night. "
