This book references a date which is two years and four months after I left
the mountain I grew up on between Grass Valley and Nevada City. It is also one of the few books I have read three times.

Cassandra Clare
“There is no better distraction in this world than losing oneself in books for awhile.”
Cassandra Clare, Chain of Gold

Marcus Aurelius
“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Donna Tartt
“It is is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Arthur Conan Doyle
“You see, but you do not observe.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Scandal in Bohemia

Theodore Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
