Worth the Candle

Apparently I'm the only one who has ever heard this quote. Actually, I read it here on campus. It originates centuries ago when candles were known to be laborious in the making. People knew how much work went into one candle and how precious they were. Hence, a book had to be really good to be "worth the candle." I am hoping that-though in the 21st century-my blog, my experiences, my life are all "worth the candle."
