BOOKS






A good book has no ending. R.D. Cumming

Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own. William Hazlitt

A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. Chinese Proverb

I found this one just funny :
Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. P.J. O'Rourke

there is no frigate like a book
to take us lands away,
nor any courser like a page
of prancing poetry.
this traverse may the poorest take
without oppress of toll;
how frugal is the chariot
which bears the human soul!
- emily dickinson

I agree with the quotes, the last one is pretty darn funny.

thanks for the comment + compliment! i love doing quick little sketches like that - it's the more complex drawings that make me lose patience (i have at least three watercolors waiting for me to finish...whoops).
keep up the lovely work!
yours, rachel rose
