I have a penchant for fresh notebooks and mechanical pencils. It seems every time I go to the store, I buy a new notebook. I have dozens of them just sitting around.

Iwas not a reader at all, not until I discovered 'The Hobbit.' That changed my life. It gave me the courage to read. It led me to the 'Lord of the Rings' series. And once I'd read that, I knew I could read anything because I had just read thousands of pages.

There are people who come into our lives as welcome as a cool breeze in summer- and last about as long.
suffering form clear
Suffering ceases to be suffering when we form a clear picture of it.
humanity different would-be
Humanity is always looking for the next great world, the next frontier. I wonder how different this world would be if we were content with where we were.
