More quotes by John Jakes
Libraries are magical places. There's nothing quite like strolling the hushed aisles, letting your eye rove along dimly lit shelves. Each spine, each title, seems to beckon with a promise of incredible wonders, surprises, and adventures.
John Jakes
The pain comes from knowing that we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be so ignorant again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. Losing innocence. Remembering heaven. That was the essence of hell.
John Jakes
The first treasure California began to surrender after the Gold Rush as the oldest: her land.
John Jakes
Spend as much time as you can with your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open.
John Jakes
