A famous professor of mathematics at Cambridge University decided that he needed to become more cultured in world literature.  Going to an advisor he asked, "Would you tell me a good book in which to begin to learn the rudiments of literature?"  Having recommended Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade," he later returned to the English professor and remarked, "The book sayid, " leagues another league and another league."  Why couldn't he just have said, one and one-half leagues?" -Louis Jacobs Literature is for the heart, not the head.  It is important to know which to use and when.

"A Frenchman who went to college was surprised to learn in his literature about prose.  He remarked, "I've been speaking prose all my life!" - Rabbi Jonathan Magonet Life teaches us all that we need to know.  All we do have to pay attention.
