{Quotable Thursdays}

With the first week of back to classes, I thought this was an appropriate quote. I love Byatt--always witty, always enjoyable:
"‎There is a peculiar aesthetic pleasure in constructing the form of a syllabus, or a book of essays, or a course of lectures. Visions and shadows of people and ideas can be arranged and rearranged like stained-glass pieces in a window, or chessmen on a board."
