Thought for the day

"One goes through life [...] leaving books unread, music unheard, pictures unseen, and though it is very reprehensible, in some ways it is comforting to think that there are so many lovely things yet to be learned."

Beverley Nichols, A Thatched Roof.

I happen to have needed that reminder this rather gloomy morning in NY...thank you! Mr. Nichols' books are full of just such "lovely things."

I love Beverley Nichols' books, love Merry Hall (total fabrication but really entertaining!)

Excellent quote and so true. There are always new discoveries awaiting us, if we are just willing to look and learn.
