"Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill, Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass." — Rupert Brooke

A book may be compared to your neighbor: if it be good, it cannot last too long; if bad, you cannot get rid of it too early.

We always love those who admire us; we do not always love those whom we admire.

Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.

The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss of blankets.
