Books are the quietest
and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible
and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers.

The greatest adventure

Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes
are all yours to make.
The mold of your life
is in your hands to break.

To feel most beautifully alive,
means to be reading
something beautiful,
ready always to apprehend
in the flow of language,
the sudden flash of poetry.

I enjoy doing housework,
ironing, washing, cooking,
dishwashing.
Whenever I get one of those
questionaires and they ask
what is your profession,
I always put down housewife.
It's an admirable profession,
why apologize for it.
You aren't stupid because you're a housewife.
When you're stirring the jam you can
read Shakespeare.
~Tasha Tudor~

I wonder
If I've been changed in the night?
Let me think.
Was I the same
when I got up this morning?
I almost think I can
remember feeling a little different.
But if I'm not the same,
the next question is
'Who in the world am I?'
Ah, that's the great puzzle!"

Oh, No, What else?
There must be more to life than this?
Just a mole, living in a hole...
I wouldn't mind it all so much,
that it wasn't so... so boring...
That's it! boring...
It's also boring being a mole!
Boring...

If I had a world of my own,
everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is,
because everything

And contrary wise,
what is, it wouldn't be.
And what it wouldn't be,
it would.
You see?"

I have sometimes been wildly,

racked with sorrow,
but through it all I still know quite certainly
that just to be alive is a grand thing.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
when you're fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartache.
Whatever you wish for, you keep.
Have faith in your dreams, and someday,
your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing,
the dreams that you wish will come true.

They are as exact as possible;
there is not a fault in them,
if they did not melt!’
