Quote responce #2, Optimistic

I think that this is saying that a good book teaches you more than just how to read, it teaches you how to be optimistic in what you are reading.

quote 14, Melodrama

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.
- Washington Irving

This is saying that crying is not melodrama, its saying that it is not a sign of weakness but of power meaning that it is showing strength. It shows grief and very strong love. Most people may see crying as a weakness, but it is not. Crying is an emotion, just like happiness, crying to me is not a sign of weakness, it shows emotion, it shows if you are really sad, or if you are really happy.
