Sunday is Quote Day

Welcome to Sunday is Quote Day

I absolutely love quotes, in fact I think I might be getting a little obsessed with them.

They can be so powerful and life changing.

I'm going to start off with my favourite book quotes x

"A room without books is like a heart without a soul"

"If you truly want to escape this reality all you have to do is open a book and your imagination". :-)

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers". ~Charles W. Eliot

Lord! when you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and

ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and

ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book. ~Christopher Morley

"Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else

that so beautifully furnishes a house." ~Henry Ward Beecher

"There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts." Charles Dickens

and of course last but not least there is my own book vow x

My Book Vow

I will continue to treasure my books every day

To admire them all on display

There gilted titling on colourful covers and spines

There beautiful designs that seem to come to life

To cherish my most precious book

To hold it in my hands and connect to the story and characters

Escaping into another world as

You gently turn each page

Feeling the books own unique history

The smell of the old pages and print

Books are our history, present and our future

Without them the world would be a very sad place indeed
