“Poetry begins in trivial metaphors, pretty metaphors, "grace" metaphors, and goes on to the profoundest thinking that we have. Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another. People say, "Why don’t you say what you mean?" We never do that, do we, being all of us too much poets. We like to talk in parables and in hints and in indirections — whether from diffidence or some other instinct.”
― Robert Frost

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”
― Voltaire

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
― Maya Angelou

“You can't judge a book by it's cover but you can sure sell a bunch of books if you have a good one.”
― Jayce O'Neal
