quote of the day

An interesting quote for literature students. (I think)
This is said by Emily Tallis, Cecilia's mother, characters from Atonement

"She has lolled about for three years at Girton with the kind of books she could equally have read at home- Jane Austen, Dickens,Conrad, all in the library downstairs, in complete sets. How had that pursuit, reading the novels that others took as their leisure, let her think she was superior to anyone else?"
