"When a reader hears more echoes of their own life, they can find them selves more interested in a book."
"There came a time when the rist to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk to took tp blossom"
--Anais Nin
"Happiness is not a possession to be prised It is a quality of thought, a state of mind."
--Daphne du Maurier
"It is the simple thing in life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest, and living close to nature."
--Laura Ingalls Wilder
"What happens on the growing edges of life,
Is seldom written down at the time.
It is lived from day to day in talk, in scraps of comment
On the margin of someone else's manuscript, in words spoken
On a street corner, or in cadences,
Which lie well below the words that are spoken.
Later, it lives on, reshaped and reinterpreted,
In the memories of those
Who were part of it, and then finally slips,
Like a child's leaf boat after a long journey down a stream,
Into the unrecognizing hands of one's spiritual descendants
Who do not know the source of the water-soaked treasures,
Which have landed on the shores of their lives."
--Margaret Mead
