Christopher Morley
Living in a bookshop is like living in a warehouse of explosives. Those shelves are ranked with the most furious combustibles in the world--the brains of men.
Christopher Morley
Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.
Christopher Morley
I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind and it didn't seem to matter.
Christopher Morley
