Not only is this a great quote, it provides such an intangibly beautiful glimpse into the power of books.
When my mom and dad were practically newlyweds they moved to North Carolina for a job opportunity. My mom and grandma went into a little gift shop looking for home goods for the new apartment. The sales clerk asked my mother if she could help her and mom said she was looking for something for the bathroom walls.
“Well,” said the clerk, “of course you’ll want something inspirational.”
This inspires me.
