Quotes

When you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book. Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley quote: "From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life..."
From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes, and I mean to make the best of my chance. Christopher Morley
The human mind appears suddenly and inexplicably out of some unknown and unimaginable void. It passes half its known life in the mental chaos of sleep.

I have heard laughter, and I think it is the laughter of God. Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley quote: "There are three ingredients in the good life: learning,..."

A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life. Christopher Morley
Life's a lot different from what people pretend. That's why pretending is fun. I used to think it was some special wickedness of my own that made such queer things happen. Now I'm beginning to guess that everybody's like that. Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley quote: "Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it."
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it. Christopher Morley
Christopher Morley quote: "There is only one success-to be able to spend life in your own..."
