| I was not so sure that I was going to read this series. I read a lot of the reviews when it came out and they were very mixed. A good friend and I spoke in depth last week and she swayed me. I read some of the comments today after I finished and I...more | |

“There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.”
― Charles Dickens
― Charles Dickens
“I have now been married ten years. I know what it is to live entirely for and with what I love best on earth. I hold myself supremely blest - blest beyond what language can express; because I am my husband's life as fully as he is mine. No woman was ever nearer to her mate than I am: ever more absolutely bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. I know no weariness of my Edward's society: he knows none of mine, any more than we each do the pulsation of the heart that beats in our separate bosoms; consequently, we are ever together. To be together is for us to be at once free as in solitude, as gay as in company. We talk, I believe, all day long: to talk to each other is but more animated and an audible thinking. All my confidence is bestowed on him, all his confidence is devoted to me; we are precisely suited in character - perfect concord is the result.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
― Groucho Marx

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
