More quotes by Christopher Morley

Christopher Morley
April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go.
Christopher Morley
High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.
Christopher Morley
There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.

Christopher Morley
Men talk of finding God, but no wonder it is difficult He is hidden in that darkest hiding-place, your heart. You yourself are a part of Him.
Christopher Morley
