Book Quotes

"It is the artist's job to create sunshine when there is none." Romain Rolland, Nobel Prize in Literature 1915

And it always works, if we let them into our minds.

"Books have the power to make everything better, but it's hard to engage with that power if we've forgotten that reading is supposed to feel good, first and foremost." F. Scott Fitzgerald (Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby)

And no matter the subject of the book, if we enjoy it, it makes our lives a little better, page after page.

"Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind." Virginia Woolf

There is a German folk song "Thoughts are Free". It's really old but it still matters. A lot.

  1. I do like the Wolf quote........ SO true. The only locks on our thoughts are those we've installed ourselves.
