Among the favorite excerpts from The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion:

It takes a courageous man to marry a woman with a mind. (Vol. 1)

I’ve seen your talents and am in no doubt that you swim in dangerous backwaters.  (Vol. 2)

What witchery are you up to on a night such as this? (Vol. 3)

Any man who can say, “All things swim and glitter” is a rare breed. (Vol. 4)

But sometimes family gets their minds stuck on what a person is, and they won’t let it go. (Vol. 5)

Of course I’ve dreamt of cutting a ceremonial ribbon. 

Hasn’t everybody? (Vol. 6)

Violet trim, Emma?  Ghastly!  Sometimes I entertain the idea of thinking better of you, only to confront a revulsion like this. (Vol. 7)

I have not taken my insignificance for granted.

One’s anonymity is not a thing to give away. (Vol. 8)

And, more wonders.

Also, the route (one of many, for sure).
