“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for.

“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.”
