Memorable quotes from somewhere in the middle of a book: The Jane Austen Edition

From Emma by Jane Austen

Look who else loves his Jane Austen…. (Photo: Shala Howell)

“Human nature is so well disposed to those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.”

Jane Austen, Emma, Volume II, Chapter 4

Happy Memorial Day, y’all. Hope you’re getting some good reading in on this long weekend.

I spent two decades helping companies like Bell Labs, Juniper Networks, and a genetic testing company that was later acquired by CVS translate some of the world’s most complicated concepts into actionable, understandable English. Now I'm working on a different problem -- helping parents raise the next generation of critical thinkers. The first book in my Caterpickles Parenting Series, What’s That, Mom?, focuses on how to use public art to nurture children’s curiosity in the world around them. My next book will focus on science, and how parents without a science degree can answer their curious child's questions without enrolling in a college level refresher course.
