Welcome to a Celebration of Reading and Writing!
The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) American author and poet.
The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can not read them.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) U.S. humorist, writer, and lecturer.
I cannot live without books.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Third president of the United States.
