Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

"Nations have their dreams...The dreams of conquest and of being bigger and stronger than all the others are always bad dreams, and such nations always have more to worry about than others who have more peaceful dreams. But there are other and better dreams, dreams of a better world, dreams of peace and of nations living at peace with one another, and dreams of less cruelty, injustice, and poverty and suffering."

“...This talker leads him on and carries him into a different country or a different age, or unburdens to him some of his personal regrets, or discusses with him some special line or aspect of life that the reader knows nothing about. An ancient author puts him in communion with a dead spirit of long ago, and as he reads along, he begins to imagine what the ancient author looked like and what type of person he was.” #Contact #QuotsyApr19

"There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life." - Lin Yutang

"I drink tea and forget the world's noises."

"There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea." - Bernard-Paul Heroux

A few of my faves from a calendar my husband gave me a few years ago. I kept it because I loved the beautiful photos & quotes about #tea. ?☕️❤️ #QuotsyDec17
