“Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I am an inveterate homemaker, it is at once my pleasure, my recreation, and my handicap. Were I a man, my books would have been written in leisure, protected by a wife and a secretary and various household officials. As it is, being a woman, my work has had to be done between bouts of homemaking.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
“All books are either dreams or swords,
You can cut, or you can drug, with words.”
—Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
