Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,

Whispering 'it will be happier'...

~ Alfred Tennyson

Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it.

~ Mary Oliver

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
~ J.R.R. Tolkien

In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.
~ Mortimer J. Adler

A day out-of-doors, someone I loved to talk with, a good book and some simple food and music—that would be rest.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

If someone said to me,
how did you spend your life?
I'd have to say,
lying on the sofa reading.
~ Fran Lebowitz

The time to read is now, not hereafter. We must make time or miss our joy.
~ George Holbrook Jackson
