Gladys Taber
the tentacles of today reach out like an octopus to swallow yesterday.
Gladys Taber
Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past. Today's Christmas should mean creating happy hours for tomorrow and reliving those of yesterday.
Gladys Taber
Old houses, I thought, do not belong to people ever, not really, people belong to them.
Gladys Taber
Most cats feel that bird-catching is their duty the instinct goes back to prehistoric times. Amber keeps in practice by chasing moths.
