TOO NEAR THE SUN

"A book is like a man--clever and dull, brave and

cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering

thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy

mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the

wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the

feathers firm too near the sun."

- John Steinbeck
