I go out to tea,
I go to an aunt for a week at the sea,
I come back from school or from playing a game;
Wherever I come from, it's always the same:
'Well? Have you been a good girl, Jane?'"

Quote of the Day
"She shut herself away. Some people grieve by holding fast to the love of others, some by rejecting all companionship. Some grieve with tears and some with dry howls. Some grieve like water, some burn. Agnes was pure slate, dark and impenetrable.
Even books didn't help -- she began and discarded them until they threatened her couch in tottering stacks."
- Louise Erdrich, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse

Quote of the Day
"She,
In the dark,
Found light
Brighter than many ever see.
She,
Within herself,
Found loveliness,
Through the soul's own mastery.
And now the world receives
From her dower:
The message of the strength
Of inner power."
- Langston Hughes

Quote of the Day
"For it was through books that she felt her life to be unjudged. Look at all of the great mix-ups, messes, confinements, and double-dealings in Shakespeare, she thought. Identities disguised continually, in a combative dance of illusion and discovery. Hers was hardly the most sinful, tragic, or bizarre. Hers was merely what it was, and her aches over it as well."
- Louise Erdrich, Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse

Don't I know it"

Quote of the Day
"Our sweet spot is that place where our greatest passions meet our talent and abilities. Finding your sweet spot often means a messy process of learning how to embrace the God-given talents you already have, rather than those you wish you had. And sometimes finding your sweet spot means taking a wrong turn or even failing. Don’t let the fear of falling short deter you. Your sweet spot is there, even if you haven’t found it yet. And in the end, it’s exactly where you need to be."
- Ruth Soukup
