Savouring the Taste of Text

Post by csbiplob »

I love quotes. One of my favorite books of all times is a book published in 1926 entitled Many Thoughts from Many Minds. Salvaged from the dump by my father in his university days, it has now been handed down to me. Its red leather bound cover and gold etched pages reek of many previous owners. I can pick a subject, any subject and discover opinions of great minds expressed in words from centuries passed.topmost Their ideas vary from the beautiful to the banal. It is a book that I have found extremely useful for all occasions as it covers almost anything; births, friendships, loves, weddings or funerals. It is a book that prompts me to reflect. It is also a book that I look forward to passing on through the generations.

I love La Rochefoucauld's Maximes. The best book ever written, hands down.
Everyone loves the happy times
