Kaye Gibbons Quotes

• I could lay here and read all night. I am not able to fall asleep without reading. You have the time when your brain has nothing to do so it rambles. I fool my brain out of that by making it read until it shuts off. I just think it is best to do something right up until you fall asleep.

Nunca pienses en ello. De ese modo, el lío es mayor.

And half the job of finding peace is finding understanding. Don't you believe it to be so?
