Defect

"If you obsess about some defect, you make it obvious to everyone, and suddenly everyone is staring at just that defect. It's always like that. The more you hide something, the more it shows. But when you accept your defect, suddenly no one on earth sees it anymore. In fact, it becomes an asset."

Audrey Tautou

Print

"Print will never die. There's no substitute for the feel of an actual book. I adore physically turning pages and being able to underline passages and not worrying about dropping them in the bath or running out of power.  I also find print books objects of beauty." -JK Rowling

Simple

"Our life is frittered away by detail… Simplify, simplify, simplify! … Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose."

Henry David Thoreau
