― Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

“I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”

“If books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the rest that can’t be in books.
The book needs you.”
― Gary Paulsen, The Winter Room
