Crystal's favorite quotes

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."
Groucho Marx

"Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.

"
— Arnold Lobel
