A part of all

The Artdog Week of Book Quotes

This is National Library Week. Instead of a Quote of the Week, I decided to dedicate this as the Week of Book Quotes, with help from the marvelous New York illustrator, Simini Blocker.

Even if you've seen Simini's wonderful illustrated quotes before, I hope you'll enjoy them again. And if you're not yet familiar with her work, I offer you the joy of discovery.

Revealed truth

The Artdog Quote(s) of the Week
Since my zany schedule cheated us out of quotes earlier this month, here is a second pair of quotes to kind of "even things out." Separate centuries, parallel thoughts by well-respected writers. I hope you enjoy them!

IMAGES: The Ralph Waldo Emerson quote is courtesy of Self Help Daily's page of "Quotes about Books and Reading." The Stephen King quote is from Quotefancy. Many thanks to both!

Variations on a theme

The Artdog Quote(s) of the Week

IMAGES: Both of these illustrated quotes come from the same Brainy Quote page about Fiction.
