“I come every year.  Today I found history books and classics.”

“I’m a performing artist and when I’m through savoring the books I purchased today, biographies of those from the golden age of stage, screen and television from days gone by, they will join my collection of similar books donated to needy children hoping some day to have a life as an artist themselves.”
