Quote by Chanel Cleeton

“I've always loved to read, probably for the same reason I dreamed of adventure. There is freedom and excitement in slipping on other personas, in pretending to be someone you're not.”

“To conclude this preface I would just like to add that certainly aphoristic literature, although of extreme philosophical, artistic, and often even scientific value, is not loved by the general public, less and less accustomed to reading, meditating and thinking, perhaps because they realize, even following the advice of certain pseudo intellectuals, that to be happy and carefree you must not make your brain work too much, however I remain of the opposite opinion, precisely to safeguard our humanity, and therefore I agree with the following concept expressed by John Stuart Mill and for this reason I continue to strive to promote the aphoristic genre, here is the pearl of the great English philosopher: "It is better to be a discontented man than a satisfied pig, to be Socrates unhappy than a contented imbecile, and if the imbecile and the pig are of a different opinion it is because they see only one side of the question.”

“Conventional wisdom suggests that for bookstores to survive, they need to sell heaps of sidelines (higher-margin nonbook merchandise), host near-daily events, maximize social media, and leverage technology. The Three Lives' simplicity is its brilliance. The tiny bookstore is filled with books and books and books and books....And so, while the same books can be bought from Amazon, often at lower prices, Three Lives offers what an internet behemoth cannot: people, conversation, books to be held and happened upon, floors that creak, atmosphere.”
