Most of us who turn to any subject with love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.

Mark Twain supposedly observed, 'Don't pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton.' Of course, today, he probably would have added, 'And hairspray by the gallon'.

Trifles make up the happiness or the misery of human life.

Alexander Smith
