Leo Tolstoy Quote

My favorite quote on marriage from Leo Tolstoy is this, " The goal of our live should not be to find joy in marriage, but bring more joy into the world. We marry to assist each other in this task. The most selfish and hateful life of all is that of two beings who unite in order to enjoy life. The highest calling is that of the man who has dedicated his life to serving God and doing good, and who unites with a woman in order to further that purpose".

Lark Rise to Candleford Quote

'Little Brown Cottage'
by Dwayne Warwick

'The garden did not adjoin the house, but was shut way between high hedges on the other side of the cart track which led to it. It was full of currant and gooseberry bushes, raspberry canes, and old hardy flowers run wild, almost solid and with greenery, for, since the gardener had grown old and stiff in the joints, he had not been able to do much pruning or trimming. There Laura spent many happy hours, supposed to be picking fruit for jam, but for the better part of the time reading or dreaming. One corner, overhung by a damson tree and walled in with bushes and flowers, she called her 'green study'.'
