The Kiss

  “Ryabovitch pulled the bed-clothes over his head, curled himself up in bed, and tried to gather together the floating images in his mind and to combine them into one whole. But nothing came of it. He soon fell asleep, and his last thought was that someone had caressed him and made him happy—that something extraordinary, foolish, but joyful and delightful, had come into his life. The thought did not leave him even in his sleep. When he woke up the sensations of oil on his neck and the chill of peppermint about his lips had gone, but joy flooded his heart just as the day before.” The Kiss By Anton Chekhov (1860–1904)

i want to be a bookmark in God's book of life.

I love a good book.
Here are some splendid quotes gleaned from the Free Book page at Monergism:

"I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library." -- Jorge Luis Borges

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested."
-- Francis Bacon. 1561-1626. Of Studies.

"Too many books, not enough time."

"Where is human nature so weak as in a bookstore?" --Henry Ward Beecher

Beware that you are not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
-- John Wesley (1703-1791)
