Jane Lessons

This is a "twist' on Life Lessons. I'm a big fan of Jane Austen nd I've decided to entitled these blurbs, Jane Lessons. - Rebecca

If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.
~ Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
