Every book is a quotation;
and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries;
and every man [woman] is a quotation from all his ancestors.

It never ceases to amaze me, especially in regards to my grown children, how right Emerson is.

Spending a few days with daughter #1 reminded me that she is such a quotation of this guy:

ANCIII

and also this gal:

What a lovely combination of grandparent quotations!
