Soon another night will fall…

Come,
Leave today’s world behind.

Light a candle
to read by and    
escape into the    
Enchanted 
World.

The best moments in reading are when you come across something-a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things-which you had thought unique and particular to you.  Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead.  And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.  –Alan Bennett

A great book should leave you…
slightly exhausted at the end.
You live several lives while reading it.
William Styron

Through the use of books, I had the whole world at my feet, could travel anywhere, meet anyone, and do anything.  –Benjamin Carson

Books, I found, had the power to make time stand still, retreat, or fly into the future.  –Jim Bishop

We are each others’ angels, we meet when it is time.  –Chuck Brodsky

If we are not happy and joyous at this season, for what other season shall we wait and for what other time shall we look?  –Abdul-Bah

After three days without reading, talk becomes flavorless.
–Chinese proverb

A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.  –Chinese proverb

Praise in public.  Criticize in private.

Some goals are so worthy, it’s glorious even to fail.
