Quote I found Today...
"Books are the carriers of tradition and the seeds of change; a source of solitary enjoyment
and communal celebration; beautiful physical objects and abstract spaces for language and thought;
work and pleasure; desirable and burdensome; always doomed and always thriving;
cheap thrills and pricey enlightenment; worth talking about, worth fighting for,
worth loving, worth sharing, worth making a life about."


--Jessica Stockton, events coordinator at McNally Robinson Booksellers, New York City,

Couldn't have said it better myself...

1. Indeed.
"worth talking about,
worth fighting for,
worth loving,
worth sharing,
worth making a life about"

My longtime favorite book quote: The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books. --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
