Old-Fashioned Fruitcake
“When Providence throws a good book in my way, I bow to its decree and purchase it as an act of piety, if it is reasonably or unreasonably cheap. I adopt a certain number of books every year, out of a love for the foundlings and stray children of other people’s brains that nobody seems to care for.”
from The Poet at the Breakfast Table
by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
“Dis-moi ce que tu lis, je te dirai qui tu es”, il est vrai. Mais, je te connaîtrai mieux si tu me dis ce que tu relis.
“Tell me what you read and I’ll tell you who you are” is true enough, but I’d know you better if you told me what you reread.
François Mauriac
We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.
