this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and
then men create out of chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they
compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these
the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work
of art." --W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil
"It is a good thing to turn your mind upside down now
and then, like an hour-glass, to let the particles run the
other way." --Christopher Morley, The Haunted Bookshop
"Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter
what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you
haven't had that, what have you had?" --Henry James, The Ambassadors
Happy Reading!
