Okay, if you're thinking of pointing out that the quotes are all free so the price isn't relative, yes I am well aware of this.
QUOTE 1 - "To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark." ~ Victor Hugo
QUOTE 2 - "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." ~ C.S. Lewis
These quotes have something in common that some people will notice right away, and some may never recognize unless it is pointed out to them. As it could be one of a few different things, I'll point out the most obvious two and let you choose for yourselves.
The first is that reading, like friendships, lights a fire and provides sparks necessary for survival to our lives. When combining these two quotes it is easy to conclude that as a child some of my best friends were characters from books: beloved Anne Shirley of Green Gables fame, Winnie Foster who spends some time with the beloved Tuck family, and Meg Murry who, along with her brothers, find and save their father who became lost while studying tesseracts, or wrinkles in time. For someone with limited access to similarly aged females in a male dominant family, these characters were truly some of my best childhood friends.
The second is that they both contain a semi-colon.
