Book Ends

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or ends:

    When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    they filled his belly
    with large stones and sewed him up.
    He was as heavy as a cemetery
    and when he woke up and tried to run off
    he fell over dead. Killed by his own weight.
    Many a deception ends on such a note.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
