dear jim,
fantastic selection of quotes today! some of (lots of) my favorites:
Ford Madox Ford:
“Higher than the beasts, lower than the angels, stuck in our idiot Eden.”
Daphne du Maurier:
“What might have been – what could have been. These are the saddest phrases in our English tongue.”
Doris May Lessing:
"Parents should leave books lying around marked "forbidden" if they want their children to read."
Patricia Highsmith:
“And no book, and possibly no painting, when it is finished, is ever exactly like the first dream of it.”
Ruth Ozeki:
“Life is fleeting. Don’t waste a single moment of your precious life. Wake up now! And now! And now!”
"language is magical - it's a form of conjuring. If you do it convincingly, readers will follow you."
Haruki Murakami:
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
“Be fearless, be brave, be bold, love yourself.”
Orhan Pamuk:
“I read a book one day and my whole life was changed.”
thank you for sharing them all!
much love
