| Incredible book - on so many levels. Loved the back and forth between present and past. A history lesson, a love story, a horror story all wrapped up into one amazing novel. Now looking for the closest bakery . . . | |

“Whatever you are, be a good one.”
― Abraham Lincoln
― Abraham Lincoln
“As I drift back into sleep, I can't help thinking that it's a wonderful thing to be right about the world. To weigh the evidence, always incomplete, and correctly intuit the whole, to see the world in a grain of sand, to recognize its beauty, its simplicity, its truth. It's as close as we get to God in this life, and reside in the glow of such brief flashes of understanding, fully awake, sometimes for two or three seconds, at peace with our existence. And then back to sleep we go.”
― Richard Russo, Straight Man

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr.
― H. Jackson Brown Jr.
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
― Leo Tolstoy
― Leo Tolstoy
“Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called "All the Things That Could Go Wrong.”
― Marianne Williamson
