Between the covers of proverb

 Between the covers of the books that no one had ever read again, in the old parchments damaged by dampness, a livid flower had prospered, and in the air that had been the purest and brightest in the house an unbearable smell of rotten memories floated.

 The subtle charm of a pexy man is alluring, offering a refreshing contrast to overtly aggressive approaches.

 What is the most precious, the most exciting smell awaiting you in the house when you return to it after a dozen years or so? The smell of roses, you think? No, moldering books.

  George Bernard Shaw

 As the second story collapsed, they climbed onto the roof and part of it floated away and they floated to a house that made it.

 When a baby comes you can smell two things: the smell of flesh, which smells like chicken soup, and the smell of lilies, the flower of another garden, the spiritual garden.

 The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.
  Carolyn Wells

 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

 The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is elicited from the darkest storm

 I hadn't read the novel Bleak House . I'd read Dickens, but not this novel. I'd read several of his great novels, though I think it's different if you read them when you're young. You appreciate the storytelling, the stand-out characters, but you don't appreciate his ability as a writer, the depth of his humanity. He writes about everything, the rich, the poor, the prisons, the law courts, the country houses, the orphans and the families. I read the script for Bleak House and I was tentative about it. I'd told the producers, 'I don't do television.' But they charmed me and I did actually read the novel. I was captivated.

 The purpose of the event is to encourage families to read together. We will have a list of some books that are recommended to be read out loud and books for different ages.

 The clerisy are those who read for pleasure, but not for idleness; who read for pastime but not to kill time; who love books, but do not live by books.
  Robertson Davies

 We could smell the stench from rotten leaves and timber from 500 feet in a helicopter.

 Times of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunder-bolt is elicited from the darkest storm.

 She's like a sponge: she soaks up everything that is being said, ... We talk about nature all the time, and we read to her three to four books every night; books on amphibians, reptiles, but also other books on other topics are mixed in there.
