Song of the day - Swim Until You Can't See Land, Frightened Rabbit
Passage of the day - "...no one can be really esteemed accomplished who does not greatly surpass what is usually met with. A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must posses a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half-deserved."
"All this she must possess,"added Darcy, "and to all this she must yet add something moresubstantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading."
"I am no longer surprised at your knowing ONLY six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing ANY." - Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
