Carolyn Wells

Quotes:

"The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all."

"Actions lie louder than words."

"A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye."
