QUOTE OF THE DAY: MARCH 26, 2016

The Painted Veil, first edition;
1925, W. Somerset Maugham

Today's Quote of the Day comes to us from one of my personal favorite novelists, the late British writer (and playwright), William Somerset Maugham, from his 1925 epic "The Painted Veil" :

"I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead."

- W. Somerset Maugham
