“And reading is a wonderful thing for the mind. I have not been many places in my life. But in books, I have traveled all over the world.”
Roger Lea MacBride, In the Land of the Big Red Apple

“The only way to measure our progress is to read about what this country used to be.”
Roger Lea MacBride, Little House on Rocky Ridge

“I couldn't ever forget the Big Muddy,' Rose said. Mama said she probably wouldn't either. 'But small, everyday things are easy to forget,' she said. 'You will want to remember those things.

People can even visit each other from miles apart, simply by talking into a box. The only way to measure our progress is to read about what this country used to be.”
Roger Lea MacBride, Little House on Rocky Ridge
