Reverence for life . . . does not allow the scholar to live for his science alone, even if he is very useful . . . the artist to exist only for his art, even if he gives inspiration to many. . . .

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans and frustrate our ways time and again, even daily, by sending people across our path with their demands and requests. We can, then, pass them by, preoccupied with our important daily tasks, just as the priest-perhaps reading the Bible-passed by the man who had fallen among robbers. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised in our lives to show us that God’s way, and not our own, is what counts.

Elbert Hubbard

Eleanor Roosevelt

the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.

Elizabeth Drew

The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.

Elizabeth Bibesco

You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump.
