Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
"I may want to read it again one day" is the reason why my husband keeps every book he reads.
Over 25 years most of them, never opened again after the first reading, have accumulated in our
cellar. One day, however, thinking he'd never notice their absence, I donated most of them to a
charity book sale. As I stood admiring the empty cellar, I heard Frank call to me, "I'm home early
so I can get to the book sale before it closes."
While he was gone, I prepared for the worst. But when he arrived home empty-handed, I asked
him if there had been any books that interested him.
"Yes, there were lots of good ones," he replied, "but I've got them all."
