― Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life

“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart”

“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you.

― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
