Ruskin Bond
“Book readers are special people, and they will always turn to books as the ultimate pleasure. Those who do not read are the unfortunate ones.

You can return to it again and again and the joy first derived from it will still be there.”
Ruskin Bond

Joseph Mitchell
“When things get too much for me, I put a wild-flower book and a couple of sandwiches in my pockets and go down to the South Shore of Staten Island and wander around awhile in one of the old cemeteries down there. (Mr Hunter's Grave, 1956)”

Rebecca Silver Slayter, In the Land of Birdfishes

“You know someone is truly special when the most beautiful thing they have on is a kind soul.”
