“Reading inspires us to dream.”

I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are.

God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.

We could afford the price of peace. Love is all it costs.

I probably have a hundred dresses from over the years. I just can’t seem to let go of my favorites!

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

All that glitters ain’t always gold, sometimes it’s pink!

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

The magic is inside you. there ain’t no crystal ball.

It doesn’t matter what your dream is, you can make it happen!

I’m just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels. I might look artificial, but where it counts I’m real.

I was the first woman to burn my bra – it took the fire department four days to put it out.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can’t put a dollar sign on.

Let my song carry me all the way home.

I count my blessings far more than I count my money.

For every drop of rain, a flower grows.

My father had a large library and whenever I could manage I tried to satisfy my passion for reading.

Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.

You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give.

If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, you must be the one to write it.

Only in books has mankind known perfect truth, love and beauty.

Print will never die. There’s no substitute for the feel of an actual book.
