Just right for a pick-me-up. --Fitness
An impossibly charming compendium of 100 wise and timeless thoughts from some of history's greatest minds, hand-lettered by Lisa Congdon. The common thread underpinning these quotes--which include such beloved luminaries as Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Henry James, Anne Lamott, Soren Kierkegaard, and Leo Tolstoy--is Congdon's own sensibility about what it means to live with kindness and integrity, to cherish beauty and the creative spirit, and ultimately to be a good human being. --Brain Pickings
