Quote of the day-----Goodreads.com

Once again, a thought worthy quote from Goodreads.



The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference. - Elie Wiesel





Have a good day, and don't be indifferent about anything.

Thank you, Philip, for reminding of us of the importance of stories.

Happy Reading Folks!

Quote of the Day-----Goodreads

No one says a novel has to be one thing. It can be anything it wants to be, a vaudeville show, the six o’clock news, the mumblings of wild men saddled by demons.
- Ishmael Reed


So, go out and pick up a novel and see where it takes you!

Happy reading.

Quote of the Day Goodreads.com

Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.
- George Sand



Seems to me that George's words should be considered by an awful lot of the "ME" generation, especially those who have so much and don't do "GOOD" things for their fellow man/woman.

Happy Weekend!
