This
post is written for the April blogging #A-Z 2018.
I
have chosen the theme Books and Authors for this year.
I am patting my back
and smiling while I write this post, as this month was quite a exciting month as
I disciplined myself to write, post and
visit every day couple of other bloggers plus managing work, handling home, family and myself I am succeeding in
accomplishing this challenge.
While I emptied my
cupboard removing all the books for the A-Z challenge, I could not find a
single book with letter X J after a lot of brainstorming and browsing
in Google I decided to write some EXcellent
Quotes. Here are some 26 quotes to motivate and encourage all of us.

Thank

Have
a blessed day!
Loved all the quotes. First one left me thinking, and then I realized that books do listen as well. They answer our fears, questions, worries and what not. Another one I can relate to is
ReplyDelete“A room without books is like a body without a soul” by Cicero. We had a study loaded with thousands of books at home. So when I came to a new home after my wedding, first thing I loved was the sight of books. Although none of them was for me to read since they were all related to the subject I couldn’t understand. :D Just that sight of books helped me to feel at home!
How nice to hear that you loved all the quotes - I too reread the first quote and reflected as I wondered first how they listen:) The quote by Cicero is my favourite too.. when I got married the first thing I packed was my books, in fact I made extra effort of covering them with fine plastic so that it is water proof and I arranged it neatly at my in laws place. There were no books there and David is not interested in reading except the bible and few prayer books, there were no other books.
ReplyDeleteThey were all eXcellent quotes Genevive! It's hard to choose but ok here are 2
ReplyDelete“With every book, you go back to school. You become a student. You become an investigative reporter. You spend a little time learning what it’s like in someone else’s shoes. “John Irving..
Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body”
I also loved the Cicero one ..
Thank you, eXcellent :)
Happy to hear susan you liked these quotes, agree with the first one you chose- so true for us who like to be perpetual learners in life. The second too is great and I agree with Cicero we will get lost definitely without books:)
