I’m sitting here bored, … trying to remember that everything is a complete mystery. - James Richardson

A day is only a day. But a life is only a life.

Books serve us simply by opening a window on all we wanted to say and feel and think about. We may not even notice that they have not said it themselves till we go back to them years later and do not find what we loved in them. You cannot keep the view by taking the window with you.

The mind is like a well-endowed museum, only a small fraction of its holdings on view at any one time.
