A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy. ~Edward P. Morgan
A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend. ~Author Unknown

English is a funny language; that explains why we park our car on the driveway and drive our car on the parkway. ~Author Unknown

Great quotes and lovely scenes, especially the first and last.
Refreshing cool moist pictures. Where is the one from with the railing and the view of the bay? A romantic spot to take someone special!
What a dramatic sky the first picture shows. Beautiful!
I like the quotes about writing, so true.
Beautiful pictures and thoughts worth contemplating. Thanks for stopping by!
To drive in parkway and park in driveway? Why is that?
I sometimes wonder too if the language was invented for complaints only. Now I know that idea must have some truth in it.
Sometimes, when I'm doing a post, I actually do feel like I'm opening a vein. However, it helps to know you're out there to help me heal.
Its so wonderful to come here and get lost in those pictures. Then you enjoy the words and find a part of you in them...lovely.
Have a wonderful weekend.
The last one was'the icing on the cake'. My love for books - wow!
All Wonderful photos, but my favorite is that first one it is just gorgeous!
gorgeous!!!
Fabulous quotes and photos - as usual!! I love the thought of books as a 'haven'. Although I had never used the word to describe my sacred time with my beloved books - it truly is that - a haven.
We complain so that we can hear ourselves grumble, and to know that there is something not quite right. Therefore, we remedy the situation, because the complaint is a sickness.
We write that which is right, our own personal truth....which is from our own special window that we see the world out of.
wonderful selection of quotes and photos, the top photo in particular is stunning
