2009 Summer Quotes of the Week

Hello all! This summer I really slacked off on quotes, so here are the two I did. I hope to have an update later today. :-)
Have a great day!


I often derive a peculiar satisfaction in conversing with the ancient and modern dead, - who yet live and speak excellently in their works. My neighbors think me often alone, - and yet at such times I am in company with more than five hundred mutes - each of whom, at my pleasure, communicates his ideas to me by dumb signs - quite as intelligently as any person living can do by uttering of words.

~Laurence Sterne

There is a temperate zone in the mind, between luxurious indolence and exacting work; and it is to this region, just between laziness and labor, that summer reading belongs.
~Henry Ward Beecher
