From the authors of Beautifully Said, Grit & Grace, and
Bravely, comes Signed & Sealed, a charming gift book that
captures the wit, heart, whimsy, drama, and brilliance of
correspondence between iconic and little-known pairs both past and
present. Inside, readers will find quotations from these
exchanges-highlighting the openings and closings penned by their
authors-alongside intriguing stories that reveal the who, what,
when, and where behind each carefully selected passage. With
chapter themes like "with a wink," "with a swoon," and "with an
agenda," this clever, rigorously researched collection delivers
wisdom and inspiration drawn from the private words of public
pairs. Quoted segments of these correspondences are drawn from
letters of all sorts-from fan mail and love letters to sage advice
and fond farewells. The featured quotations-and the back stories
that accompany them-are perfectly suited for bibliophiles, history
buffs, pen pals, stationery fans, and letter lovers of all ages.
The 100 featured correspondents include friends, colleagues,
lovers, family members, and professional admirers, among them Frida
Kahlo and Georgia O'Keefe, John Adams and Abigail Smith, Duke
Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Taylor and Andy Warhol,
Nelson Mandela and his young daughters, plus many more. This unique
collection was meticulously researched and curated with care by
Quotabelle, a start-up that elevates women's voices through the
power of words. It's bound to inspire today's letter writers to
create their own new "signatures." Signed & Sealed is a perfect
pairing with Quotabelle's Salutations & Signoffs notecards,
both designed to revive the lost art of letter-writing, one line at
a time.

it.' The Little Book of Wisdom offers guidance from some of the

Horses are the epitome of grace, power, and freedom. They also have
an ability to touch our souls and connect with our hearts in a way
that few other animals can. From a little girl's first pony to a
gnarled cowboy's last quarter horse, they can offer us some of our
deepest friendships and inspire us to be the best version of
ourselves. Spirit: A book of happiness for horse lovers is a
compendium of enduring quotes that capture the essence of our
affection for these magnificent animals. Some are by famous people
(Winston Churchill, Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Faulkner, Dale
Carnegie, William Shakespeare, Ralph Waldo Emerson), others not;
some are philosophical, others light-hearted - all are memorable.
Accompanied by beautiful photography, and presented in a
high-quality gift format, this is a collection of quotes to
treasure.

A collection of compelling quotations from a rising star in
contemporary art, architecture, and design The work of renowned
contemporary artist Daniel Arsham blurs the lines between art,
architecture, archeology, and design. In his distinctive style, he
takes ancient art works and objects from twentieth-century pop
culture and casts sculptures of them in geological materials such
as quartz or volcanic ash, colliding past, present, and future in
haunted yet playful visions that prompt viewers to question their
everyday surroundings. Gathered from interviews and other sources,
Arsham-isms is a collection of lively, thought-provoking, and
memorable quotations from this exciting young creative talent on a
wide range of subjects-including art, architecture, film, design,
pop culture, the art world, and what it means to be a globally
recognized artist today. Select quotations from the book: "Art
needs to be a little dangerous." "You don't have to own the thing
to be part of it." "This work for me is not about progress. It is
about destruction and growth and where they are able to meet in the
middle."
Have you ever felt like your day-to-day life is one big 'to-do'
list? There's the daily juggle of work, an energy-sapping commute,
the demands of family life or running a busy household. And then

moving house, finding love. Between all that noise, it can be hard
to make and maintain friendships. The Little Book of Friendship
offers guidance for when the scales of life are tipped and a moment
of companionship is needed. Packed full of wise words from some of
the world's best-known figures - from ancient philosophers and
celebrated writers to modern-day figures - this book will help you
to prioritize your friendships and truly value your loved ones,
even when times are tough. 'No road is too long in the company of a
good friend.' - Japanese proverb 'Friendship is essentially a
partnership.' - Aristotle

long extracts, organized by topic and by play, with a key word
