Description: I used to consume books. A weekly trip to the library saw me with a big old stack of novels filling up my arms. Life gets busy, though, and making time to read gets harder and harder. That's what struck me when I thought about this quote by Harper Lee. Reading is a practice, is something beautiful for me, is something I don't just want but need to give time to in my daily life. I hope we are all giving more time to the things that are as important to our souls as breathing.
Description: A funny sarcastic typography design featuring the quote "I Prefer Not To Think Before Speaking, I Like Being Just As Surprised As Everyone Else By What Comes Out Of My Mouth." Perfect for witty personalities, coworkers, friends, family gatherings, and anyone who enjoys self-deprecating humor.
