Great book quotes

[AK Granola]

I’m not sure where this belongs, which forum, but I wanted to share it. A positive Thanksgiving wish for all of you! Maybe others can offer up a favorite quote.

”If you have got this far, you are one of us, and you will go on. For the lure of the high places is in your blood. The call of the mountains is a real call. The veneer, after all, is so thin. Throw off the impedimenta of civilization, the telephones, the silly conversations, the lies that pass for truth. Go out to the West. Ride slowly, not to startle the wild things. Throw out your chest and breathe; look across green valleys to wild peaks where mountain sheep stand impassive on the edge of space. Let the summer rains fall on your upturned face and wash away the memory of all that is false and petty and cruel. Then the mountains will get you. You will go back. The call is a real call.” Mary Roberts Rinehart, from Through Glacier Park, 1916.

“But now,” says the Once-let,
“Now that you’re here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It’s not.”

— Dr. Seuss
