Very true words...

As you all know, at Ash's we buy and sell second hand books too. I receive books on a daily basis, and today someone dropped off their Bryce Courtenay hardbacks. For this first time I had a good look at his books and three of the 'backs' caught my eye...

"In the heartwood of the sacred persimmon tree is ebony, the hardest, most beautiful of all woods. This is a symbol of life, a heartwood that will outlast everything man can make, a core within that, come what may, cannot be broken and represents our inner strength and divine spirit"
- Persimmon Tree

"I'm my experience, friendship is the companion that walks beside love and is often the more enduring of the two. Friendship of the deep and abiding kind, unshakable and unconditional"
- Brother Fish

"Look up, up...up there, at the midnight sky. At the game of chance within the firmament Saturn's rings, mooned Jupiter, planet Mars. All yours if you hoist ambition's sails and set a galactic course, then cast a wide-flung net to fish for the brightest stars in all creation"
- Fishing for Stars

Wanted to share that with whoever is reading this blog....
