Barbara Ehrenreich
American Writer
I know that the last thing a book wants is to just sit around unread, serving as an element of interior decorating. So when I have people over, all they have to do is glance at my books, and I implore them to take a few home with them. If I am really ambitious, I pack books into boxes and donate them to prisons.
Quote examples
Wayne Dyer
American Psychologist

Quote examples
Dick Costolo
