There was a table laid with jellies and trifles, with a party hat beside each place, and a birthday cake with seven candles on it in the center of the table. The cake had a book drawn on it, in icing. My mother, who had organized the party, told me that the lady at the bakery said that they had never put a book on a birthday cake before, and that mostly for boys it was footballs or spaceships. I was their first book. ↗

Below Les Avants there was a chalet where the pension was wonderful and we would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright. ↗

اعذرني !! لن ألوث طهري ونقائي لمجرد إرضائك ، ولن أدنس مبادئي لأكسب شرف قربك مني .. ولن أنزع رداء الطفولة من روحي من ذاتي من وجداني .. لأكون في نظرك أنثى كاملة النضوج هذه أنا إن أردتني بطهري بطفولتي بنقائي بوفائي بعطائي !! وإن لم ترغب بنجلائك كما هي .. إذهب إليهن وغادرني فكثيرات ياسيدي من هن بحجم رغباتك ! وقليلات / قليلات من هن بحجم نقائي ! ↗

We have written too many books about love and so few about hunger and poverty; that is why we need to wake up and leave stupidity behind. ↗

And when you love a book, commit one glorious sentence of it - perhaps your favourite sentence - to memory. That way you won't forget the language of the story that moved you to tears. ↗

Immersing oneself in the problems of a book is a good way to keep from thinking of love. ↗

I generally read every night befi=ore I fall asleep: Brad does too. I find it comforting to lie beside my husband, each of us with a book in our hands. I see it as a period of calm and intimacy, and as the perfect metaphor-together, yet individual-for our marriage. ↗

Speak up and speak clearly. I want to hear what you have to say because it matters. Let's listen to each other and respect one another's opinions. Although, they may be different, wisdom allows us to be responsible for our own feelings and actions. ↗
