Robert Ruark
“The Old Man just claimed that the stature of the man was measured by how much he could smile when fate was beating him over the head with a stick.”
Robert Ruark, The Old Man's Boy Grows Older

Arthur Conan Doyle
“You see, but you do not observe.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Scandal in Bohemia

Winston S. Churchill
“If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or as it were, fondle them – peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that if you do not know what is in them, you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them at any rate be your acquaintances. If they cannot enter the circle of your life, do not deny them at least a nod of recognition.”
Winston S. Churchill, Painting As a Pastime

Arthur Conan Doyle
“The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Robert Ruark
“Time just seems to fly away for a boy. That, I s’pose, is why one day you wake up suddenly and you ain’t a boy any longer.”
Robert Ruark, The Old Man and the Boy
