Love the Thomas Carlyle quote, that's exactly how I felt about books in school and I've always loved to read. School about killed that joy.
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to Carlyle as well.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be very hard to disagree. This is one of the best quotes ever. I loved school but life has taught me so much more. And all the books I read. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading,
