“Nothing is pleasanter to me than exploring in a library.” ~ Walter Savage Landor
The public library in my community is a wonderful resource. I greatly appreciate all the librarians and other workers there.

Are You Real?
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." ~ Margery Williams (The Velveteen Rabbit)

Worth Reading
"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally—and often far more—worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond." ~ C.S. Lewis
