Quote of the Week
This is from one of my favorite books. Not necessarily something that an English teacher would assign but I strongly recommend that if you haven't read it then get thee to a library.
“No
live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of
absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill
House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it
had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls
continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly
shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and
whatever walked there, walked alone.”
― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House
