Sentences of the Week:

1. "No one bothered to wave or call out in greeting as she passed; they had learned long ago there was no point in it when she had a book with her." The Magicians and Mrs. Quent

3. "Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good." Romans 12:9-21

This week's sentences are pretty random.  I'm between books, having just finished A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, so I chose quotes I used for two of my essays this year and a sentence I found while skimming the book I might start.  The first sentence was on the very first page of my new book, The Magicians and Mrs. Quent, and it made me laugh.  Although I don't know who the character is yet, I can relate - I have often been annoyed when people interrupt my reading.  The second sentence is a bit of a joke.  This week for A.P. Composition I had to write a descriptive essay about someone I knew.  I used this line from an Emily Dickinson poem to describe my friend's philosophy.  It was accurate and fun, so I thought I'd include it on my list.  Finally, the last sentence is one I heard in a reading a few weeks ago in church.  I liked it so much that I looked it up, then used it both in an essay for Novels and a quote competition in Comp.  I figure bible = book, so its fair to include it.  Even though they're a little random, I like my batch of sentences this week.
