The Bookish Wombat

“A bit of trash now and then is good for the severest reader. It provides the necessary roughage in the literary diet.”
― Phyllis McGinley

“Well, sometimes home is a person.”
― Beth Revis, A Million Suns

“As I got older, I discovered that nothing within me cried out for a baby. My womb did not seem to have come equipped with that famously ticking clock. Unlike so many of my friends, I did not ache with longing whenever I saw an infant. (Though I did ache with longing, it is true, whenever I saw a good used-book shop)”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

“Home is the nicest word there is.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder
