I find I want only books around me that continue to inspire. Instead of needing to know a little about a lot of subjects, I want to immerse myself in just a few cherished ones like Celtic spirituality, Taoism and pilgrimage.Patricia Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805777892399781031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493601.post-73818591940236669162013-06-21T07:23:04.104-05:002013-06-21T07:23:04.104-05:00My walls are lined with books, and I'm certain...My walls are lined with books, and I'm certainly grateful for all they have given me over the years. But the more I live the more I've come to believe that books are other people's knowledge and that real wisdom comes from tapping within one's self.
