I read this delightful passage in a book called, “A Tale of Love and Darkness” by Amos Oz describing childhood, “I started to read almost on my own, when I was very young. What else did we have to do? The evenings were much longer then, because the earth revolved more slowly, because the galaxy was much more relaxed than it is today.” I love these words because they perfectly describe why I read as a child and the eternally long hours I remember from my childhood.
Another quote I just read in one of Rosamunde Pilcher’s books is this:
“Happiness is making the most of what you have, and riches is making the most of what you’ve got.”
