Quote from Dorothy Parker, Constant Reader
But I give you my word, in the entire book there is nothing that cannot be said aloud in mixed company. And there is, also, nothing that makes you a bit the wiser. I wonder–oh, what will you think of me–if those two statements do not verge upon the synonymous.

Quote from Isabel Fonseca, Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies and Their Journey

Quote from Dennis Lehane
Happiness doesn’t lie in conspicuous consumption and the relentless amassing of useless crap. Happiness lies in the person sitting beside you and your ability to talk to them.

It is where, when you cross its threshold, you finally feel at peace.
