Quotes by Carolyn Wells

"The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all."
Carolyn Wells
"Take care of your common sense, and your dignity will take care of itsself"
