‘Don’t Eat Too Much Chocolate or Imbibe Too Much Gin!’

Today’s light-hearted thought is only this: literature often gives us just the pearls of wisdom we were looking for. I’ve picked out five of my favourite literary quotes for times of quarantine to make you smile.

1. ‘Don’t eat too much chocolate or imbibe too much gin’ –Barbara-Chase Riboud, Hottentot Venus

2. ‘Run mad as often as you choose, but do not faint!’ ― Jane Austen, Love and Friendship

3. ‘It's always tea-time’ ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

4. ‘If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books.’ ― Roald Dahl

5. ‘Consciousness is a born hermit.’― George Santayana, The Life of Reason and Other Works 

I hope you found those as entertaining as I did and that they made you smile. On Monday I’ll be back with the usual thoughts from quarantine. Until then, stay safe and keep creative.
