"Have to pause here as it's due back at the library - someone's reserved it so I can't renew. I've got a couple of Audible credits so might switch to the audiobook..." Aug 26, 2022 10:46AM

Betty  Smith
“From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood. There was poetry for quiet companionship. There was adventure when she tired of quiet hours. There would be love stories when she came into adolescence and when she wanted to feel a closeness to someone she could read a biography. On that day when she first knew she could read, she made a vow to read one book a day as long as she lived.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

W. Somerset Maugham
“To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.”
W. Somerset Maugham, Books and You

Jane Austen
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Oscar Wilde
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
Oscar Wilde

H.G. Wells
“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.”
H.G. Wells
