Books

The photo was taken in Walker, MN. The stone sculpture shows two children sharing  a book on a park bench. It inspired me to think about all the wonderful books we have to chose from as  we get lost in our reading. 
Picking a book quote is much like picking a favorite book. Its hard to chose just one.


Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926)The Happy Life, 1896
There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.
Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)
A room without books is like a body without a soul.

Cicero
 (106 BC - 43 BC)
(Attributed)
Nothing can do what a book can do. Lifts you out of your life... to a whole new world, whole new perspective. A book is like a dream you're borrowing from a friend.

  1. The pie recipe sounds refreshing and easy to make, a bonus in my book.

    Then, about books, here's a quote I like:
    "Without a love for books the richest person is poor." Anon.

    When I visited the Village of Yesteryear print shop in Owatonna about a month ago, he in-house volunteer printer gave me a card with that printed upon it. Quite true, isn't it?
