Christopher Morley

Christopher Morley
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
Christopher Morley
The little Plumpuppets are fairies of beds They have nothing to do but watch sleepyheads They turn down the sheets and they tuck you in tight, And dance on your pillow to wish you good night!
Christopher Morley
A critic is a gong at a railroad crossing clanging loudly and vainly as the train goes by.
Christopher Morley
