Kari Kari said: " Many times I am pleasantly surprised by a book and then, with one turn of an ending, I lose respect for the entire piece.

Not the case with this one here. Thank you.

“Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone. It is good to listen, not to voices but to the wind blowing, to the brook running cool over polished stones, to bees drowsy with the weight of pollen. If we attend to the music of the earth, we reach serenity. And then, in some unexplained way, we share it with others.”
Gladys Bagg Taber

“Traveling is all very well if you can get home at night. I would be willing to go around the world if I came back in time to light the candles and set the table for supper.”
Gladys Taber

Carson McCullers
“She wished there was some place where she could go to hum it out loud. Some kind of music was too private to sing in a house cram fall of people. It was funny, too, how lonesome a person could be in a crowded house.”
Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

“Old houses, I thought, do not belong to people ever, not really, people belong to them.”
Gladys Taber

“the real evidence of growing older is that things level off in importance ... Days are no longer jagged peaks to climb; time is a meadow, and we move over it with level steps.”
Gladys Taber
