"And to this purpose"

"If people like to read their books, it is all very well, but to be at so much trouble in filling great volumes, which, as I used to think, nobody would willingly ever look into, to be labouring only for the torment of little boys and girls, always struck me as a hard fate; and though I know it is all very right and necessary, I have often wondered at the person's courage that could sit down on purpose to do it." (In other words: rambling analyses, opinions, ideas, views, and comments from an English major, Essay/paper-writing enthusiastic, Austen-loving Master Librarian on, well, Jane Austen...and a whole lot of other things, too.)

"Celebrated Passages are Quoted"

Heidi's favorite quotes


"What is it really like to be engaged?" asked Anne curiously. "Well, that all depends on who you're engaged to," answered Diana, with that maddening air of superior wisdom always assumed by those who are engaged over those who are not."— L.M. Montgomery

And THEN there was Josh

If you haven't picked up already, I've been posting this month on the history of the men in music that I have come to love. Why? Well, it's February. The month of love. And it's also the month of Josh's birthday. Indeed. Today is Josh's birthday. So I'm going to link to the 2 posts I wrote of Josh almost 3 years ago. I don't think I could say it any better than I did then.

Except to add that I love Josh and his voice and his music even more today than I did when I discovered him over 10 years ago.

Happy Birthday, Josh!

Thank you for being you, and for being a part of my life!
