The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

“One of life's challenging realizations is that sometimes you outgrow your friends.”
Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Michael  Harris
“At the end of that Roger Ebert essay, he says he decided to force himself to do the reading that he knew, deep down, his brain wanted and needed. When he gave himself the proper literary diet (and found a room in the house where his Wi-Fi connection failed), “I felt a kind of peace. This wasn’t hectic. I wasn’t skittering around here and there. I wasn’t scanning headlines and skimming pages and tweeting links. I was reading. . . . Maybe I can rewire my brain, budge it back a little in the old direction.”
Michael Harris, The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We've Lost in a World of Constant Connection

Stephen  King
“Henry Thoreau said that we don’t own things; things own us. Every new object—whether it’s a home, a car, a television, or a fancy phone like that one—is something more we must carry on our backs.”
Stephen King, If It Bleeds

Stephen  King
“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
Stephen King

P.G. Wodehouse
“The snail was on the wing and the lark on the thorn - or, rather, the other way around - and God was in His heaven and all right with the world.
And presently the eyes closed, the muscles relaxed, the breathing became soft and regular, and sleep, which does something which has slipped my mind to the something sleeve of care, poured over me in a healing wave.”
P.G. Wodehouse, The Code of the Woosters
