    One of my favorites has always been:

    The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.

    Currently on my phone's lock screen:

    There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

    Hemingway's second wife lived in NE Ark. where her family owned 60,000+ acres.
    The Pfeiffer family built a studio where he would work when in town visiting the in-laws.
    That studio still stands today as a museum of Hemingway's life.
    He wrote a portion of A Farewell to Arms at his place.

    I live nearby, and have visited several times when the museum was open for special days.

    I looked at some in a bookstore in Coral Gables last month. The larger size has the entire book on it. The smaller ones have a good portion, but not the entire thing. Not sure about Old Man and the Sea, that's a shorter book so it could probably fit on the smaller size.

    Currently reading The Sun Also Rises. Great book. Looks like I need to check this thread on a regular basis.

    Probably pretty easy to score books in Dahlonega. I think that's where the real Deliverance occurred.
