"“It is not everyone,” said Elinor, “who..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“I go too long without picking up a good book, I feel like I've done nothing useful with my life.”

“but for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.”

““I often think,” said she, “that there is nothing so bad as parting with one's friends. One seems so forlorn without them.””

“I am the Lorax! I speak for the trees, Which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please; But I also speak for the brown Barbaloots, Who frolicked and played in their Barbaloot suits, Happily eating Truffula fruits. Now, since you've chopped the trees to the ground There's not enough Truffula fruit to go 'round! And my poor Barbaloots are all feeling the crummies Because they have gas, and no food, in their tummies.”

“A man may acquire a taste for wine or brandy, and so lose his love for water, but should we not pity him.”

“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”

“Everything of mine is permeated with my love of ideas-both big and small. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it grabs me and holds me, facinates me. And then I'll run out and something about it... I write for fun.”

“We are proud of a human nature that could be so passionately extreme, but we shrink from advising others to follow the example.”

“No matter how much care we put into hiding our passions under the appearances of devotion and honor, they can always be seen to peer out through these covers.”
