The Best Moments in Reading...

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.”

- Alan Bennett

"...It's takes strength..."

"It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind"

- The Smiths, I Know It's Over

Silliness

“Silliness, is a vastly under-appreciated quality —in humanity. I don’t know why it isn’t among our major virtues. Diligence, and kindness, and patience, and humility; and silliness.”
